Sveta Grigorjeva and Leonora Palu intertwine their instruments for the AFEKT festival: flute and poetry meet for two sharp performances, as if asking, “Is there even a need for art when the world is burning?” We believe there is! Moreover, art can be both empowering and therapeutic — today, it also stands as an act of resistance against both rampant shallowness and the geopolitical situation. Come and be empowered with us! Catharsis guaranteed.
