The Avant Art Festival — an international platform for new and experimental music and art — returns to Berlin for its sixth edition. This year’s festival expands its format through a special focus on Polish art, presented as part of the project Polish Art Week. Taking place from 22 to 28 June, it promises to be one of Berlin’s major artistic events of the season, featuring cutting-edge and uncompromising artists from Poland, as well as from across Europe, Africa, and Asia.
Seven days of intense sound and visual experiences lie ahead, in which music becomes a field of experimentation and transgression. At the intersection of jazz, avant-garde, new tradition, improvisation and electronics, new fields of expression will be created, intermingling with painting, multimedia installations, performance and audiovisual art. This is an event for those who seek non-obviousness, openness and artistic courage. You are welcome!
This project is co-financed by the Minister of Culture and National Heritage of the Republic of Poland from the Culture Promotion Fund.

The project moves between different aesthetics, ranging from static forms, through footwork, dub and hip-hop, with the intention of changing and expanding their context. Until now, they have published their music on the Portuguese Crónica label and the domestic labels Pointless Geometry and Patalax.
