Full Moon Art Fest 2021

Fundacja Wielki Człowiek, Zwyrolix SQUAD (originators of the event Alicja w Krainie Dziwów), Leśna Muza Foundation and Leśniczówka Rock'n'Roll Cafe together create Full Moon Art Fest – a unique cultural and musical event. The main theme of the festival is the Full Moon. The phenomenon which has inspired and stimulated imagination for centuries. It is a common point of cultures, connecting mankind for hundreds of thousands of years. The event will refer to human nature in its primordial form. To instincts, feelings, emotional states, but also to the foundations of culture created by legends, beliefs and rituals. The 24th of July is not a coincidence – this is the date of the Full Moon. The festival will evoke the esoteric aura of ancient rites, sorcery, gods and powers hidden in our depths. It will reach back to ancient rituals, but also to those completely contemporary. It means to touch the instincts and emotions that have been present in us since the dawn of time through the eyes of a modern man. That is why this night will be a space for alternative musicians, visual artists and performers to express themselves. Together, through various forms of expression, a space will be created that will stir the imagination and allow us to look at the Moon as the ancient Slavs did.

The event will feature an art exhibition, thematic workshops, readings of fairy tales and legends, a fireshow, concerts and DJ performances. It will feature artists performing ritualistic and ethnic music, and alluding to Slavic traditions, and all this will be enhanced byospecially prepared for this occasion-decorations inspired by folk motifs and UV and RGB lighting. The place of the event was also chosen not accidentally. It is a forester's lodge located in the very heart of the Silesian Park, surrounded by forest, ensuring the proximity of nature, unique atmosphere and ideally referring to the nature of the festival.

The festival will feature a collective exhibition of visual and performative arts entitled Ritual, curated by Wojtek Kukaczka, and a photography exhibition entitled Wewnętrzna Bogini (Inner Goddess), created by Mag Rosa Photography and Katarzyna Miłek Jaworska. There will be workshops of intuitive dance, Slavic singing, a demonstration of lunar cosmetics and henna painting. Musical experiences will flow from two stages: an open-air one, active from 4 to 24 pm, and an indoor one, active at night, until 4:30 am.
