Berne
Edition 2026
In a time when conservative ideologies and nationalist forces are gaining strength across the globe, culture remains one of the few spaces where resistance, dialogue, and transformation are still possible. How can we, as cultural practitioners, stand up to dominant political, ideological, and economic currents? How can we advocate for equality, diversity, and justice through our work? What specific tools and methods can the performing arts scene offer in shaping alternative futures?
