„Art saved me, gave me a place of belonging, made me discover the world and the others. Meeting other artists brought me knowledge and new perspectives. It transformed me. Art defined specific moments of my life and search. I wanted to be like the artists, to see their full body of work, get to know them, collect them, keep them. There was an excerpt, a moment of a song, a film, an exhibition, a book, a show that stayed with me forever. „

What was that moment for you? What scene from a movie or a theater show, what paragraph in a book, what piece of an exhibition has transformed you, touched you and you never forgot? What did you keep in your body from this artistic moment? 

At the Spectators Festival, 15 spectators from 15 different countries will share with the whole world how a work or art experience marked and transformed them. Each one of them will have 5 minutes to share with us what they have saved forever from an artistic moment.

Those who are not comfortable with appearing on camera could still share their experiences via the chat-box.

The event is led by the Portuguese artist, Raquel André, so prepare yourself for other exciting activities.

On November 21st 2020, 5 pm, the festival will be broadcasted on all platforms of the Collection of Spectators project, Bakelit’s facebook page included.

If you feel like being the one who shares his or her artistic revelations representing Bakelit, contact us via international[at]bmac.hu until the 14^th of November.

The festival is realized in the frame of the European project Be SpectACTive! and supported by the Creative Europe Programme.
