🦋 Are we human, or are we animal? Discover the boundaries during the 34th edition of Arts Festival Ithaka.

In the unique setting of the Justus Lipsiuscollege, we are giving a stage to 9 young artists this year. The theme? Human & Animal. An exploration of the tension between civilization and instinct, between us and 'the other'.

Ithaka is more than just looking. It is about experiencing. 🌟 We invite you to engage with interactive installations, join creative workshops, and soak up the atmosphere at our festival bar.

👉 Follow our socials to discover the artists and activities!
