ANTI – Contemporary Art Festival is proud to present the four shortlisted artists for the 2023 ANTI Festival International Prize for Live Art and their performances in the Shortlist LIVE! Programme on the festival weekend 15th and 16th September 2023.

The nominees for the 2023 ANTI Festival International Prize for Live Art are: Tiziano Cruz (Argentina), Autumn Knight (United States), Jota Mombaça (Brazil) and Joshua Serafin (Philippines/Belgium).

“While each of them comes from a unique artistic and geographical background, these artists  are all exceptional change-makers in Live Art. They invite us to engage socio-political and ecological realities outside of Eurocentric systems and show us what it means to dream and practice alternative futures”, the shortlisting committee, Pelin Başaran, John Tain and Elisa Itkonen, writes about the shortlist.

We are excited to present the 5rd edition of the Shortlist LIVE! Programme: the nominees’ performances will be experienced live during the ANTI Festival taking place in Kuopio, Finland.
