“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 the where is the festival's mediation project, where alternative programming meets audiences who are invited to reflect and participate in their own way. It's an attempt to invent together discourses capable of hybridisation through encounters. The where gives spectators a place and a voice, opening up spaces for criticism and expression, and nurturing individual commitment.
The where is also a venue, the centre of the festival.
It hosts a free artistic programme, a reading area and a bar. It's a bit like the FAME garden, where you can relax between two shows, meet up, catch up on the world on a bit of pavement or escape the hustle and bustle of the city.
