This years’ festival theme is “Empower! “

We are all surrounded by forms of power; working within and negotiating power structures every minute of the day – those we were born into, created for ourselves, or those that we push against. What power do we have? What power is oppressing us? What power can we fight against, question, dream of, create, invent, break down? How do we create power for others and share or hand over power we have?

To empower is to share, support, or invest others with strength and confidence – to invest with the ability of self-determination and -reflection about ourselves, but also the power relations we all live in. But more than that, the word empower comes with sparks that speak of strength, emancipations, inspirations, revolutions, visions, wonders and changes.
