Congratulations to our partner Borealis Festival () for being honoured with the Classical:NEXT Innovation Award!🎉

The award recognised its distinctive engagement with technology as a means of reshaping listening and bodily experience, its uses of technology to connect sound, space and the human body serving as a tool for enhancing presence and sensory awareness, prioritising immersion, corporeality and ecological context over display. Offering a compelling vision of how contemporary music can be experienced, not just heard.

Each year, three recipients are honoured at the Classical:NEXT Innovation Award Ceremony. For 2026, the Innovation Award placed a focus on New Technologies, encompassing projects that meaningfully engage with emerging or advanced tools to reshape how classical and art music is created, performed, experienced, made accessible or understood.

Twenty years ago today the publications department of initiated Ràdio Web MACBA. What started in 2006 as a way of bringing team members together by slowing things down and sharing ideas among each other, has turned into a platform for critical thinking, working with artists, knowledge transfer and ‘Radio Beyond Radio’. We had a conversation with Anna Ramos, coordinator of Radio Web MACBA, who shared with us some of the history, reflections and lessons gained throughout the journey of the radio.

Introducing Re-Imagine Europe Pilot Study #10 – On Weaving Webs of Care

Participating in events like festivals, workshops, or camps can be challenging for those arriving alone or with specific accessibility needs. Samuel Eberenz’s response is to practice webs of care – instigating the creation of small groups of up to six people to foster mutual support for each other, paying special attention to access needs and structural dynamics. Inspired by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna- Samarasinha’s disability justice framework of ‘care webs’ and by activist ‘action groups’ used in civil disobedience, webs of care redistribute responsibility for well-being from a few individuals or designated teams toward a more collective social system.

Drawing on webs of care at two annual events, Labor mit Utopieverdacht (LUV) in Germany and Elevate Festival in Austria, this pilot study examines how they function as an added layer of relationality adaptable to different scales and atmospheres. The web formed at LUV was crucial for discussing and addressing access needs and how to mitigate inequalities within such a self-organised environment, creating space to experiment with organiser versus participant dynamics and shared responsibility.

Looking back at the Sonic Acts Spatial Sound Concerts 2026 🔊

Two evenings, thirteen concerts and ten hours of spatial sound. This edition of the Sonic Acts biennial featured live performances and diffusions that unfolded on the world-famous Acousmonium – an orchestra of around sixty loudspeakers designed to envelop listeners. 

Moving between analogue instruments, self-designed digital tools, field recordings, and live performance, each artist articulates a distinct sonic language – one that stretches perception and reshapes the act of listening itself.

The Spatial Sound Concerts are presented by Sonic Acts and Hartwig Art Foundation, and co-organised with the Musical Research Group of the French National Audiovisual Institute (INA GRM). The programmes are also realised by Paradiso and Sonic Acts as part of New Perspectives for Action, a project by Re-Imagine Europe, co-funded by the European Union. With the friendly support of the Ernst von Siemens Musikstiftung.

Parco Arte Vivente  invites to join their upcoming workshop Mediumistic Practices and Artistic Research

Hosted by Adele Dipasqualem (), this reading session includes various techniques such as creative reading, cut-up, and automatic writing chains will be applied. Through these practices, the workshop explores various texts written by feminist authors on the politics of voice production, on the disciplinary technologies of silence, and on forms of multilingualism and polyphony. By examining forms of writing that assert plurality, challenging the notion of authorship in favor of collective and relational practices, forms of homage and citation, and modes of writing that make space for a multiplicity of voices.

News 🚨 Culture needs space! Campaign to stop the dismantling of Slovakian culture

Independent cultural centres across Slovakia have long served as an essential pillar of civil society and a cornerstone of democratic values; encouraging critical thinking, and civic engagement.  They are now facing a targeted attack: recent political changes to the Slovak Arts Council have stripped cultural centres of essential state support, which threatens their very existence.

In response, the Slovakian Anténa network of independent cultural centres () is launching a fundraising campaign so that these centres  –including our partner A4 () in Bratislava– can survive throughout 2026, and continue to offer artistic and non-commercial programming to communities and wide audiences all across Slovakia.

What is happening in Slovakia is sadly not an isolated case, reflecting a broader pattern that could unfold anywhere. This is a moment to come together in solidarity and support our Slovak friends and colleagues to keep these spaces alive in defense of community and free artistic expression.

Introducing Re-Imagine Europe Pilot Study  #7 - Disrupting Systems, Activating Communities

In April 2014, drawing from her background as a curator, researcher, and networker in the fields of digital culture and activism, Tatiana Bazzichelli (.bazz) founded the Disruption Network Lab () in Berlin. The aim was to develop a public programme, grounded in artistic experimentation and critical investigation, to expose systems of power and injustice and empower transdisciplinary communities.

In this text, Tatiana Bazzichelli offers a reflection on the curatorial methodology behind the organisation, with a focus on building networks of trust, activating interdisciplinary communities, and fostering cultural participation at the intersection of politics, technology, and society
