The umede.lt team is pleased to announce a preliminary list of artists, which includes more than 50 participants.
The festival and symposium will begin on the morning of October 16 and end late on the evening of October 19, so reserve these days for the full festival experience.
The third festival ūmėdė 2025 welcomes us down to earth to question why we are so awkwardly placed here.
After media and screen fatigueness and sensory overload we invite you down to earth, down to body, down to roots to exchange on what we have learned out there and was it worth the trip?
New media integration into art and society was done in a happy-go-lucky way, now we would like to rewind and freeze some of the best moments. Lets watch and listen to them in slow motion all together around the real bonfire.
Third edition of umede.lt festival will happen on October 16-19th at SODAS 2123 (Vilnius, LT) site and invites you to experience all four festival stages (strands): sodas (garden), krūsnis (heap of stones), laboratory and ether.
