Festival
STRP Festival
From 13 to 16 April 2023, STRP Festival dives deeper into the theme of 'The art of listening'. In our society we prefer seeing to hearing and speaking to listening. Self-expression is what drives thinking, science and our social media. Now that social media serve as a megaphone for the masses, and anyone can voice their opinion at any time, STRP wonders who is left to listen. How can we revalue and reclaim the art of listening? With this question in mind, STRP is looking to collaborate with artists, designers, thinkers, and makers in order to translate the theme of Listening into original, critical and innovative works or scenarios for the future.
Expo & performance
In the STRP Expo, local and (inter)national artists present mostly new works that explore listening as a method. What would an environment for active and empathetic listening look like? How do we train our ears and hearts to be more receptive to our fellow human beings, to plants and animals, to nature?
STRP Education
STRP's educational programme is an accessible way for students and teachers to get to know the festival's wide-ranging programme.
STRP Scenarios
STRP believes that the future is experimental and created together. Therefore, to explore future scenarios they work together with creative scenario co-creators to design and re-invent the traditional format of conferences. By experimenting with different online/on-site hybrid formats, they broaden their perspectives and reach out to networks beyond their own. During STRP Festival there will be a STRP Scenario on 13, 14 and 15 April 2023.
