Volcanic Attitude

The Festival

Volcanic Attitude is a contemporary culture festival that hosts artists and researchers in a programme of happenings, lectures 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, to investigate the ways in which we act and think, and how these change in relation to the place and the tools we use.
