Cancellation of CF

5/2/2020

Dear artists and attendees of Collagistas Festival

We really tried to stay positive through this coronavirus pandemic but we honestly don’t know how things are going to be this September. Spain has announced a four-phase plan to lift its stringent coronavirus lockdown and return to a "new normality" by the end of June. This means that we won’t have the freedom nor the time to prepare the festival as wewould like to. We also don’t know if this “new normality” will allow our meeting to take place as we wish.

As you all know the Collagistas Festival is about being together, sharing our ideas and inspirations about collage. It is totally opposite to social distancing.
With this in mind, we havedecided to cancel the event for this year.
We really want to thank all the artists who applied for the 7th edition.

We will be back!
In the meantime keep making collage, keep making art!

Dear artists and attendees of Collagistas Festival!

A tiny, invisible thing has turned the world upside down. Coronavirus has drastically changed the routines of our lives. Our destination for 2020 is Spain which unfortunately is the second European country to report so many confirmed cases.

Many events and festivals all over the world have been cancelled or postponed but we choose to stay positive. Since no one knows if the atmosphere will change soon, all we can do is wait to see when this hurricane will calm down.
For the moment collagistas team has agreed to change the deadline for your application to 15th of May.

Try to stay healthy, avoid fear and be creative!
We hope that the pandemic will end soon.

Last year in Dublin, we organized a short movie session, where artists showcased animations, short films, music videos, behind the scene, all based on the collage technique.
It was a very vivid and different way of watching collage artworks, and therefore we'd like to do the same in Brussels this September.
We invite you to send (via WeTransfer to collagistas@gmail.com) your short video clip files you would like to show to the audience by August 10 at the latest. We will edit them in a long format video that will be displayed the last day of the festival.
