The Festival
"Volcanic Attitude" is a contemporary culture festival that hosts artists and researchers in a program of explorations, conferences, and performances between Naples and Vulcano (Aeolian Islands).
Volcanic Attitude connects the research of artists and experts from various scientific disciplines with volcanic territories and the primary forces of nature, In its peculiar itinerancy and spirit of connection with the territories, the Festival encourages interdisciplinary and interpersonal encounters and exchanges, also involving local communities as well as new and regular visitors. By fostering renewed synergies between the practices of art, scientific thought and the most advanced and current research on nature, the aim is to stimulate new points of view and reflection on acting and thinking in the contemporary world, in relation to the place we are at and the tools we are using.
Volcanic Attitude
2024 edition
18 - 21 June
NAPOLI > ISOLE EOLIE
VESUVIO > VULCANO
High Deep is the third edition of Volcanic Attitude on the Aeolian Islands. The festival takes us from the depths of the sea to stellar constellations in the sky. It offers a visionary journey from submarine volcanoes and studies on oceans and their role in climate change to the depths of 'lost skies' and ancient stars. The trembling of the volcanic earth beneath our steps guides us on the way.
The performative works and installations by international artists will be in dialogue with the contributions of researchers from the National Institute of Volcanology and the Marine Biology Institute.
