It focuses on artistic approaches to working with the body, imagery, and situation.

It builds on the themes the artist explored in her work: feminism, a critique of neoliberalism, humor, awkwardness, courage, and the intersection of the political and the poetic.<\/p>\n<p>The current, second edition of the festival is centered on the theme of Myth.
