Radical - Joy - Resistance
Triggered by a feeling of powerlessness in a world that seems wrapped in violence, The Overkill festival is looking into the role of play within activism, the place joy can take in times of great crisis and the power of pleasure in movement of resistance. The festival is wondering what are the (digital) tools, the (virtual) places, the encounters, the (online) gatherings we can create to give each other courage and build new lines of defence. The program will create room for the voices that we don’t hear, open its space for listening, to speak up, to share and try together.
The Overkill invites playful artists to engage with us in the troubles and help us activate disruptive movements, may it be small, loud, temporary or transformative.
