Northern Ireland Mental Health Festival Symposium 2024

Description

Full On - The Art of Festivity

Festivals encourage becoming, the negotiation of new perspectives and the production of special occasions. They are expressions of the unusual and the transformative. Belfast is a city of festivals that celebrate the art of gatherings that change us. The festival scene is unconventional and situates the extraordinary into everyday life. There is series of concurrent happenings that conjure artful experiencing, improvisation and becoming. As a form of creative rejuvenation, festivals take us to new places within ourselves and produce a polyphony of public artistry. They capture people's attention and inspire an opening up to possibility. This will be a presentation about festivals, what they mean to us and how we can align with our own festivity within.
