REPAST

Community-building programme

The TO)pot Festival is not only a space for listening and engaging with the programme, but also a space for meeting, resting, sharing a meal, and informally exploring the themes addressed through the work of Cona and the TO)pot Festival.

This year, we are therefore organising a communal lunch for the festival’s contributors: artists, authors, theorists, and organisers. At the same time, we invite you to join us around the shared table.

At BAZA, we will experience the festival through conversation, food, and informal socialising. We are also preparing a TO)pot Festival library, offering a selection of books on walking, sound, silence, and the mapping of spaces, as well as a listening room.

This is an opportunity to meet the festival participants, ask questions that may not find their way into post-event discussions, exchange impressions, or simply share a meal.

We see REPAST, our communal lunch, as an integral part of the festival programme – a space where the boundary between contributors and visitors becomes blurred. Everyone who would like to experience the festival informally through encounters, conversation, and reading is warmly invited to join us.

The lunch costs 10 EUR.
