🎤 Operating festival logistics in Brazil is no small feat – especially in the Northeast. Brazil is a continent-sized country, and moving artists and crews across such vast distances presents enormous challenges. But recently, the situation has become even more complicated with skyrocketing airline ticket prices. These excessive costs hit us where it hurts the most: the production of shows and festivals. The impact on the Northeast is particularly harsh, limiting the ability to bring in big acts and making the entire scene harder to sustain. The reality is clear: this scenario has to change if we want to develop the region’s cultural landscape. Until then, my strategy is to focus on promoting regional artists, building stronger local line-ups that reflect our unique identity. To draw the crowds, we can still bring in a major name from outside – not as the main event, but as a hook to attract attention and open doors for local talents to shine. We need creative, sustainable solutions to overcome these logistical barriers. The Northeast has cultural strength and diversity in abundance – all we need is the right support to unleash its full potential. #EventLogistics #BrazilianCulture #FestivalProduction #RegionalTalent #SustainableEvents #NortheastBrazil

🇪🇺 Preparing with Nele Hertling two sessions for the European Festivals Association summit in Usedom, here are some of the questions we will address: 🌳 *Mon. 13 May: Denis de Rougemont Lab: Experimenting democracy* Why do we choose to create a festival? To promote an artistic form, to respond to a local need or commission? How does an idea, vision, desire germinate? How does a founder (a person, a group) mobilise around this idea, analyse needs, find resources and strengths? How is the festival project organised over time, and what are the consequences for the group in terms of its composition, skills, mode of action and governance? What weakens the core group or, on the contrary, makes it more robust? 🏡 *Tue. 14 May: Festival Cities and Regions Workshop* ❓ What is new in your relation between cities and festivals that you think is relevant to share with the other cities and regions? ❓ What are the methodologies used by cities and regions to consult their festivals: How do cities and regions initiate and strengthen their dialogue with their festivals? How do cities ‘value’ their festivals - in which policy areas and actions do they address festivals? How do festivals define their relation with their cities beyond funding opportunities? We are tapping into the variety of experiences and political ideas of relation ❓ What is the state of play of the work in progress of the EFFE Seal for Festival Cities and Regions focusing on Environmental Sustainability. 😎 Hope to see you at the Baltic Sea!
