PASSPORT CONTROLL'2023

MEDIAWAVE Summer Arts Workshops and Community Gathering

17-23 July 2023.

Kund Castle and Somogyfajsz Bird Paradise, Hungary

Organizers:
Somogy Nature Conservation Organisation
Mediawave International Visual Arts Foundation

In the spirit of the "slow water..." movement, we invite our sympathizers to work together in the middle of summer. Adults and children alike are invited to the bird paradise of Somogyfajsz, to an unusual and wonderful natural resort, which is both a swamp and a wildlife reserve, and one of the last places of pastoral culture. Here, we can not only practice the practices of living in nature, which is slowly fading into oblivion, or try to let nature, living and sprawling, take over our artistic activities, but also experiment with how to free ourselves from our dependence on mobile phones and FB, at least for this week. These can be serious - but certainly voluntary - experiments for individuals to seek and develop a more nature-identical lifestyle. If we can't do and live all this permanently, let's at least dive in intermittently to know what would be good, desirable, natural.

If you have been touched and inspired by the spirit of our summer community event and you feel ready to take action to create a different way of being together, please join us and don't hesitate to write down your ideas. No need to think big: dare to think small, dare to slow down!

The previous Passport Controll - Summer Arts Gatherings have been extensively documented, giving you a good insight into the spirit and the events of the camp. Click here to read or watch it.
