LABORATORIES FOR CHANGE: CULTURAL FESTIVALS AS SPACES OF PARTICIPATION AND INNOVATION

This issue does not aim to offer an exhaustive vision of sustainability and accessibility in cultural festivals, but rather to open a debate, identify directions for future research, and valorise the variety of experiences and approaches. We hope that this work will contribute to consolidating an increasingly articulated field of study, attentive to the challenges of the present, and that festivals, in their many languages and contexts, will continue to serve as unique spaces for imagining a more sustainable, inclusive, and conscious future.
