The VIII VENICE INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCE ART WEEK 2023 presents “DigiLabAir | Emergencies of the Contemporary”. The event was focused on sustainable development as a fundamental principle of our societies, featuring a live performance program with internationally recognised performance artists addressing pressing issues such as marginalisation, poverty, climate emergency, migration, accessibility, social and gender equality, justice and peace. "We are all part of this. We are all in this together. Let’s do it differently. Let’s do it in a way that we have never done before. And then, let’s never do it again this way. Let’s do it anew, every time, anew. Each and every time is different, and each and every time is new." VESTANDPAGE.
