The collection of performances and installations shown this fall all deal with processes and questions of change in critical and affective ways. The topics explored continue in the spirit of this year’s »Transformation« festival theme which uses the means of music and art to trace the possibilities and necessities of far-reaching personal and social changes, as well as to question the ability of art to transform itself and its structures. The works highlight different aspects of transformation, from the impact of aesthetic experiences, to the effects of new technologies, to shifting social contexts and possible futures.

Detailed information about the part two programme can be found by clicking on the above event links. Not to forget, the online CTM Magazine contains numerous articles offering in-depth information and reflections on the themes, works, and artists of the 2021 festival edition under the #transformation keyword, as well as articles related to previous festival editions as far back as 2014. New articles related to the Transformation theme will continue to be published throughout the summer.

Finally, an overview of festival performances and talks from January and February 2021 is available via the CTM 2021 Recordings page, which regroups video and also audio recordings. We've put together a behind-the-scenes look at this past festival edition, available as a CTM 2021 photo collection on Flickr.
