THE FESTIVAL IN BRIEF
Under the title Ordered States projects will be presented at the 2005 Festival of Regions which are distinguished by a high degree of sensitivity for the structures and systems of order in the everyday world. In close co-operation with local cultural initiatives and the general public, the projects will relate to the living space and social realities in the focal region, Upper Mühlviertel. The motif and the choice of focal region are to be also understood as a contemporary reference to the Adalbert Stifter anniversary in 2005. A multitude of encounters between the general public and participants in the Festival from Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, Croatia, Russia, Switzerland, the Czech Republic and the United States will lead to a dense series of presentations characterized not only by precise observation and a committed sensitivity to regional particularities, but also by the linking of contemporary cultural practices with the reality of everyday living. Based on the results of an international call for proposals the 2005 Festival program is oriented toward the main motifs of gender orders, youth culture, regional development, architecture and public order. The gamut of projects ranges from staging the everyday life of villages and small towns in co-operation with residents and setting up a Test Field Mühlviertel via workshops on international women's networks through to work with youths in schools and youth clubs. Exhibitions in Linz round off the program.
