Surviving vs. Thriving: Envisioning Sustainable Futures

Reinvention is the lifeblood of festivals, enabling them to
thrive in an ever-changing landscape while attracting both new
and returning attendees. Joined by the global digital arts and
electronic music giant MUTEK, the large-scale desert event
focused on community, art, self-expression, and self-reliance,
Burning Man, and the largest music festival in Northern Europe,
Roskilde Festival, we’ll enquire on how they are envisioning
sustainable futures for their events. A presentation of the
EU-funded research and development project Digital Inter/Section
will bridge the topic and give an overview of arts organisation’s
approaches to sustainable practices and business models.
