The Bionic Festival 2025 invites international artists to reflect on censorship in the art world and the politician’s inability to carry out an effective green transition. We hope that this edition of the festival contributes to raising awareness of the value of indigenous knowledge and the inspiration that these cultures represent in the generation of new forms of organization with low carbon impact.
