Umede.lt festival 2027
The new Ūmėdė biennial festival is investigating the discourse of “emerging art forms” and invites artists, thinkers and practitioners to overcome their disciplinary borders and perform, share, exhibit, expose, present, talk, dine and walk together for 3 nights and days in the heart of Vilnius city. We believe that it does not matter which medium you use, or which discipline you refer to, as long as you are concerned with urgent issues of emerging art (formerly known as (new) media art, art & science, digital art, interactive art, etc.) Ūmėdė starts as a platform for emerging art forms, to accommodate and question them. Moreover, it intends to explore the limits of art and its relations to other forms of human and non-human (post-human) activities. The biennial has ambitions to grasp what is upcoming or upcycle what was lost in the history of art & science & research.
