ECOPHILIA NOW festival 2024

19 & 20 October 2024
Plyfa

PartSuspended Artist Collective opens the 1st edition of ECOPHILIA NOW festival in the unique space of PLYFA for 2 days, 19-20 OCtober 2024.

The ECOPHILIA NOW festival brings together over 20 diverse participants, including performers, musicians, choreographers, visual artists, activists, environmentalists, and poets from across Europe. With representatives from countries such as Greece, Hungary, Spain, Italy, Belgium, France, Romania, Ukraine and Denmark, the festival is international in scope.

The festival's concept of "ecophilia" - a deep love for Earth and nature as a shared home for all beings - invites participants to nurture their connection with the environment. This focus on "philia" (friendship) with nature is a call to embrace a more caring, sustainable, and mindful approach to how we interact with the environment.

Through a rich variety of artistic expressions, such as performances, audio-visual media, music, and visual art, as well as engaging talks and creative workshops, ECOPHILIA NOW looks for feminist and inclusive practices and how these can open new ways of thinking about a more environmentally conscious and socially just world.

Join us to explore together new possibilities of making art and thinking about the environment, and share the joy of being together!
