Festival of Regions - Summary

Since 1993 the Festival of Regions has been taking place every two years at decentralized locations in the state of Upper Austria with its capital, Linz, and since then it has developed into a contemporary event with a focus on present-day, site-specific art and culture. At the interface between art and everyday life, the festival’s projects incorporate the populace into a critical engagement with social, political and artistic questions. Outside the centres, the Festival of Regions combines contemporary cultural work and art forms with local histories, problematics and idiosyncrasies
