A series of blogs written about the 2021 edition of O. festival which found itself operating as a hybrid festival due to COVID restrictions.
Our international (online) meetings at WORM were an amazing two days – after we had to miss our international friends and colleagues we finally could dream together. Artists had the time to present their projects and programmers were eager to hear about them. The feedback we got from both makers and presenters was great. People were introduced to each other and started thinking about future collaborations. For us this is the main thing – being an intermediary and making projects possible. We’re longing for live encounters, and look forward to welcome international guests during the festival. But we will keep this digital element so many more artists and presenters from all over the world can join.
