The festival opens a multidisciplinary dialogue between installations, performances, concerts, screening programmes, editorial projects and the public programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The meeting between the festival staff, the artists, the curators and the host venues is a constant exchange. Curating is no longer only a matter of caring for art objects: it means taking in different views of the world, attempting a rewriting, and putting the idea of authorship in common.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull u-section u-section--alt is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group vsa-secthead u-wide
