In 2016, with Dialogue as its theme, the festival took place in St. Petersburg’s Admiralteysky district. In addition to being historically rich, the district stands out for its social diversity: communities ranging from the elderly, students, and immigrants to wealthier families. Did these people know and interact with each other? How did their surroundings affect their relations with one another? These were the questions addressed by artists from Russia, the USA, Poland, Switzerland, Norway, and Finland as they created interdisciplinary works.
