RABBIT/DUCK is an interdisciplinary art festival at Scen 46, facilitated and run by the independent art platform No Deadline.
The festival is supported by Göteborgs Stad and was part of GIBCA Extended 2023.
During a two-day performative feast, dance, music, visual arts and poetry co-exist, creating an art symbiosis of different shapes and forms under the same roof.
Contemporary artists from different art fields come together to break the borders between art forms and celebrate what we all have in common.
We aim to challenge categorization and constraints. In this time where art is under attack; where freedom of expression is put into question, we want to make a stand.
Perhaps through sharing our artistic practices we may realise the existence of something more profound, something more uniting…
RABBIT/DUCK wants to inspire and challenge our perception, our ways of seeing and experiencing the world.
