The work of artists Ada Zielińska and Rafał Dominik has been christened ‘Hide and seek’, visitors will be given a custom made cloak that will virtually make them disappear in what the organizers describe as “a space where all shapes disintegrate, space loses its depth and striking arrangements are waiting to be discovered in the equalising patterns.”

After losing themselves in the art, guests can rediscover themselves in the musical performances that close each day. Radio Kapitał and Girls* to the Front are two collectives that aim to amplify the voices of marginalised groups in Poland, both are hosting their own parties at the festival that will be broadcast around the world giving a voice to those who feel unheard.
