We bring together cultural agents and artistic directors of local, national and international festivals that, like EiMa, are committed to risky proposals, linked to the territory and to contemporary creation. We are interested in generating a meeting space between projects that operate from rural or peripheral contexts, and that share values such as sustainability, proximity to communities and the search for new artistic languages. The session seeks to promote dialogue, the exchange of practices and joint reflection, and will be an opportunity to receive valuable feedback from other similar initiatives, expanding networks and weaving partnerships that strengthen the independent cultural ecosystem.
