With the Transart Festival, South Tyrol turns into an experimental playground where to explore different languages of the contemporary art scene. This year’s edition focuses on nature as a resource to be preserved, the need for spirituality, the encounter without prejudices between cultures and the development of new formats where art, music, performance interact with each other.
