Various locations
Eferding, Austria
The 2013 Festival of Regions researches and cultivates Austria’s third oldest town, Eferding. Under the motto Digging Up, a dense and multifaceted program of 38 contemporary art and culture projects along with 110 and events will be presented. Almost 600 persons will be involved in the projects.
All the themes, motifs and interventions will relate to history and stories, to social relations and structures in the region. Unusual perspectives on normality will be evoked and a nutritious soil prepared for new artistic plantings, including rare plants and hybrid mutations.
Festival of Regions
The Festival of Regions has been exploring regions in Upper Austria every two years since 1993. Far from the metropolises and cultural centres, a program with contemporary art and culture is designed and communicated to all the residents of a chosen region. Apart from regional, national and international participation by creative artistic and cultural agents, collaboration with local associations, institutions and individuals is sought to anchor the festival in the area and so leave behind traces that are as deep and distinct as can be.
