THEME — MUTATION (Part II)
With the theme Mutation (Part II), FIBER Festival continues its investigation into the (in)ability of humankind to adapt to a radically transforming earth. Now zooming in and out on the collisions between worldviews, industrial and spiritual realms and proposals for the future. Are we, forced by global warming and planetary-wide technological developments, able to steer towards a post-human world?
Through artistic explorations, we will offer mind-altering perspectives on this question during the festival programme. Artists, musicians, researchers and performers will share their beliefs and speculations on the nature of mutation through sound, image, space, and sensory experiences.

The opening night of the 12th FIBER Festival edition further explores the theme of Mutation through a conversation - our lecture-performance with Omsk Social Club & lemonboy - and two musical concerts by Sofie Birch and Flora Yin Wong. In times of a global pandemic, the climate emergency and many transformative challenges, is there a way to find a new way to perceive and learn from our surroundings? Can we find comfort in the healing nature of sounds? We welcome you to experience this together at Likeminds.
