Festival

fluctoplasma is Hamburg's festival for a diverse urban society and is entering its fifth year in 2024: From October 24th to 27th, we invite you to join us in shaping a new edition and celebrating our first anniversary together! This year, our festival is themed "recharge resistance," and we call upon you to engage politically and fight for our shared coexistence!

In a year marked by European elections, important state elections in various German states, as well as racist, antidemocratic master plans, and the gradual erosion of our societal cohesion, a disturbing trend becomes increasingly clear: the rise of right-wing and antidemocratic forces, which are expected to deeply embed themselves in the fabric of our parliamentary democracy and civil society.

Now accepting creators' applications for the 25 Spiral Independent Creators Festival (SICF25), happening from May 2-7, 2024 at Spiral (Tokyo). 

Launched in 2000, SICF is an open-call art festival that aspires to discover, foster, and support emerging artists and designers. Organized by Spiral, an arts complex in Tokyo’s Aoyama, SICF brings together creative talents across different fields and disciplines to present their work. The festival attracts a wide variety of visitors from the creative industries, including gallery owners, curators, collectors, buyers, and media professionals. Over the years, SICF has continued to expand as a platform for artistic activities, through encounters between new talents and visitors.
