As the opening programme, the Ukrainian artist Nina Eba and the Senegalese author Ada Diagne will present their examination of the realities of their lives. Political scientist and expert on right-wing extremism Natascha Strobl will frame the festival theme "Into the Open" in the opening speech. Together with the audience, we will also take a look into the future and already lay a first foundation stone for the festival in 2024.

Be there when we open the doors to a unique festival and let our guests and authors surprise you. Look forward to inspiring encounters and immerse yourself in a creative diversity of perspectives, conversations and texts.
