Since 2021, Thirdspace has been organizing the festival ‘Third Goat’ in the Croatian region of Istria, focusing on performance, new media, and interdisciplinary projects dealing with ecological issues. It is conceived as an artistic response to climate change and the environmental crisis we witness on a daily basis, aiming to foster a phenomenological, ecological, and ethical understanding of our relationship with the natural world.

Third Goat Festival takes place in various outdoor locations and gathers young creatives and performing artists who engage in artistic questioning of ecological issues and sustainable development together with local ecological farmers and local action groups who present their work as part of ecological farms and eco parks. There is a special emphasis on participatory artistic projects that bring the community together around the ideas of sustainability and inclusivity.
