Beyond Gravity Festival and what is the call about?
Beyond Gravity is a transdisciplinary platform and a festival at the intersection of digital media, performance and speculative technologies. Launched in 2023 with a focus on dance and virtual realities, the festival emerged from a preceding residency hosted by Theater im Depot, during which three prototype projects were developed and later presented as coproductions. The inaugural edition featured eight artistic positions, alongside a symposium that brought together artistic-scientific collaborations and scholarly contributions through lectures and presentations. This first festival was a cooperation between Theater im Depot and the Academy for Theatre and Digitality.
The upcoming 2025 edition marks a new phase in the festival’s evolution, presented by the two previously mentioned institutions and Kulturforum Witten in addition. Centered around the theme Decolonizing the Digital, the new residency program invites critical engagement with power structures and imperialist tendencies embedded in technological development, representation, and (artistic) infrastructures.
The residency program unfolds from an intial invitation of three international curators working in different focus regions – Viviane Maghela (Central & West Africa), Marlon Barrios Solano (Middle Americas/USA, working on Migrating Forms and Nomadic Knowledges) and Laura Cugusi (Southern Mediterranean). They have been invited to conceptualize a new project in collaboration with artists from their region – Eric Takukam (Cameroon), Maria Luisa Angulo (El Salvador/France) and Nada Zanhour (Lebanon). These curatorial tandems are now in the development phase, and we are issuing an open call for collaborators preferably from Ruhrgebiet/NRW to join the development of these works. We encourage applications of artists, developers and technologists who are open to co-create experimental, critically engaged and cross-disciplinary digital artworks that will be presented as part of the festival program from October 1st-5th 2025
