Curated by Didier Morelli—performance and art historian, cultural critic, and visual artist—this 12th edition unfolds around the theme “Splitting Ice.”

Through performances and multidisciplinary practices, artists explore ice, snow, and water in all their forms, while questioning our relationship to climate, ecosystems, and today’s pressing social and political issues.
