MIND EATER is an Oslo-based, artist-run, non-institutionalized festival interested in emerging artists and performative practices. It will take place in its first edition on August 9-11, 2024, at UKS - YOUNG ARTISTS' SOCIETY and Norma T. The festival encompasses a two-split program: a public performance program consisting of artists from interdisciplinary fields working within varied formats and a discursive program including lectures, workshops, and screenings by theorists, critics, and artists. With MIND EATER, we aim to host works that explore frictions, imaginations, and deviant desires while critically engaging with our current cultural conditions. With its queer nature and emphasis on embodied work, MIND EATER seeks to become a steamy meeting point between different artistic inquiries, un-worlding, and critical thinking.
