Art / Music / Workshop
Solective

On the occasion of the Tangente Festival, the interdisciplinary art symposium “Parque del Sol” will dedicate a special edition 2024 to the theme “Gemeinschaften/Kollektive” (communities/collectives). 

 

The Sonnenpark in the south of St. Pölten has been a showcase project of non-profit cultural work for over 20 years. The cooperative approach and the DIY principle have already given rise to many special things in this unique creative biotope. Be it in the field of crafts, music or the visual and ­performing arts. Ideally, open spaces like the Sonnenpark are laboratories for the future, experimenting with new ways of thinking and acting. 

 

Throughout the year of Tangente, an open space will be established there to explore current central issues. What will communities of tomorrow look like? Which place does nature have in our planetary togetherness? Where are hidden untapped resources that strengthen artistic and political engagement? The “Parque del Sol”, which has been firmly anchored in St. Pölten’s cultural calendar for many years by LAMES, will explore the preconditions and potentials of common solidarity. 

 

Within the three Tangente focal points ecology, memory and democracy, artists, scientists, experts and creative people will invite you to rediscover the self-governing urban oasis on Spratzerner Kirchenweg. Participatory workshops and lectures, skill sharing, exhibitions, concerts, performances and club formats will make visions of inclusive togetherness tangible.  

 

Numerous protagonists from Austria and all over Europe will turn the “Parque del Sol” into a festival for all who are curious, ready to be amazed and find joy in thinking and creating together.
