FestivALT is a Jewish-led multidisciplinary cultural organization that uses contemporary art, performance and activism to engage the complexities of Jewish history, memory, identity, and culture in contemporary Poland. We understand the work of artists to be integral to the functioning of a free society, and in particular, critically-minded creative practice to be fundamental to democratic values. We provide an inclusive platform for under-represented voices and perspectives, and a welcoming space for the artistic examination of difficult topics concerning Jewishness in Poland. Since 2017, we have produced an annual summer festival of contemporary art and civic engagement in Kraków, Poland, and have now expanded to include year-round programming. Our seventh summer edition will take place June 23-2 July, 2023.
