Eastern Daze #29 Avant Art festival report part 1

The 2020 Edition of Avant Art Festival took place in late September, amid the COVID-19 pandemic this year’s edition featured exclusively Polish artists. I met with artists of both the classically and intuitively trained varieties. Through a variety of experimentation, improvisation and delicate curation they explored what music meant in 2020 and we discussed how a festival as such could continue to preserve collective foundations in Poland’s Art Industry while advancing forward in the face of shifting paradigms of division and uncertainty.
