Artistic delicacy
White Night will awaken the city at night with multi-genre experiences, a variety of collaborations, and themes. The popular contemporary art festival is coming to Slovakia for the sixteenth time. During three autumn nights, it will allow you to discover work in several artistic genres right on the streets of Bratislava – from visual art (including lighting design and digital art) to live performances, music, film, and literature.
With the festival map, you will discover a variety of visual and sound installations, interactive objects, concerts, film screenings, theater, and dance performances. The rich range of artistic genres will introduce you to the latest trends in contemporary art and technology.
Most of the installations can be enjoyed on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday between 7 pm and midnight. However, be aware of the program, which only takes place at specific times. These include live performances, music and dance performances, workshops, public readings, or film screenings (they are color-coded on the map ).
