“Where” is the only word missing from the FAME acronym: Festival where Arts Meet Empowerment.
We called where the spaces where the audience, artists, critics, activists, organizations. can meet or cross each other. Spaces in which partnerships are born and come to life.
where is both a physical space and an approach that links all individual and collective efforts together.
Thus, where is the festival's mediation project. It invites artists to intersect with audiences, in their own way. An attempt to invent together discourses capable of hybridization through encounter. The where gives spectators a place and a voice, opening up spaces for criticism and open speech. It aims to nurture each other commitment.
The where is also a place, the center of the festival. It hosts a free artistic program, room to play video games or read a book and a bar. It's a bit like the FAME garden, where you can take a break between two shows, meet up, reshape the world on a piece of sidewalk or escape the city's hustle and bustle.
