ANTI - Contemporary Art Festival
- ANTI - Contemporary Art Festival
ANTI - Contemporary Art Festival is a yearly international live-art festival held in Kuopio, Finland, which uniquely uses modern cityscapes as a stage for its contemporary art performances and installations. The event is highly regarded by local people and it has also gathered international interest mainly because of its original stagings and mix of local and international artists.
ANTI is free of charge except for the opening seminar. The context-based performances and installations exhibit arts from sculpture and environmental art to dance, live art and live performances.
