Drifts festival focused on the theme Ungoverned Lives, with this we seek to bring to the fore strategies of resistance through the arts. The notion of being ungoverned opens paths to multiple struggles for self-determination, liberation, equity, dignity, and justice. The Festival signals the need for art and culture to be driving forces in challenging the status quo, and a commitment in our practice to work through plurality, autonomy, and freedom. It serves as an invitation to continue dreaming of a tomorrow where multiplicities can coexist, and as a provocation to open up the possibilities arising when we dare to be ungoverned.
