DRIFTS 2023 - Ungoverned lives
Drifts is a nomadic art platform that organizes transcultural festivals annually in different regions of Helsinki. It seeks to engage with critical dialogues and address urgent societal issues through audiovisual, performative and discursive practices. Drifts fosters a space beyond cultural, geographical and disciplinary boundaries. It contributes to the cultural plurality by engaging with diverse neighborhoods and communities in the city.
All the events are free entrance for everyone.
In 2023, Drifts Festival is realized in collaboration with the Museum of Technology and with the kind support of Kone Foundation, The Finnish Cultural Foundation, AVEK, and the Arts Promotion Centre Finland.
