The annual FUTURE FESTIVALS serve as both analogue and digital platforms for the EU project DIALOG CITY, aiming to reach a broad and diverse audience. The participating European cities included Mondoví (IT) in 2023 and Graz (AT) in 2024. The artistic projects developed during these residencies were showcased on-site at the FUTURE FESTIVALS as well as presented online. The next FUTURE FESTIVAL will take place in 2025, organized by Aschaffenburg (DE) and Montpellier (FR). Each city will host its own artist residency.
