Drifts Festival | Precarious Lives

The fourth edition of the Drifts Festival will take place at Levyhalli and the Nordic Culture Point in the Suomenlinna region of Helsinki from August 31 to September 8, 2024. This year's theme, Precarious Lives, focuses on the vulnerability of life in the face of violence and hatred that cross borders. The festival engages with the social scars caused by fascism and capitalism that oppress and dispossess lives and addresses contemporary urgencies in Suomenlinna, a site where wounds from various historical moments/periods remain. The festival collaborates with 44 local and international art practitioners, presenting public programs: audiovisual performances, film screenings, lectures, and exhibitions.
All events are free and open to all.
