Festivalen vil præsentere signifikante kunstværker af en lang række etablerede såvel som yngre, up-and-coming kunstnere på den danske og udenlandske kunstscene, heriblandt nye bestillingsarbejder, der alle forholder sig til det overordnede tema 'fællesskaber'.

Der inviteres også til paneldiskussion på Gl. Strand torsdag den 16. februar kl. 19. Diskussionen vil fokusere på visionerne for og forventningerne til sommerens festival.
