“HFestival” is, since this year, the name of the redesigned Festival of tolerance and engaged arts, which is since 2014 an annual event that reunited young artists from various fields whose work is promoting tolerance, human rights and expressing the need for an accountable society. This annual few-day event was this year designed as a platform, dedicated to support and promote new engaged creatives, to popularize art as an effective tool for raising awareness and to initiate regional exchange between artists from the region of Western Balkans. During the year, we have in this program selected a main topic, exploring contemporary creation, meeting artists from the region, organizing open calls, with 10 different programs coming out to be exhibited or staged at the HFestival. A special emphasis is given to promotion on this particular program because of its specific character, in order to turn it into an annual occasion for engaged artists from the region to meet and to confront their work to organizations from the civil society, media, and representatives and to a diverse enlarged audience. This is why for this specific program we are developing additional media, institutional and commercial partnerships. The main topic for this festival edition was “Life and reconstruction after collective traumatic events”, this year the HFestival edition reunited 15 artists (visual artists, multimedia artists, authors, musicians, composers and performing artists) during two days.
