SENA 2024 – PRACTICES THAT SPEAK!
Southern European & Northern African OISTAT Scenography Forum and Festival
20-23 October 2024 – Novi Sad, Serbia
SENA 2024 celebrates the excellence of the contemporary design for performance from Southern European & Northern African countries and regions. The event is organised by SCEN – OISTAT CENTRE SERBIA, under the auspices of Biennale of Scene Design, Technical Faculty of Novi Sad, University of Novi Sad and counting on the collaboration of OISTAT members.
The program includes exhibitions, workshops, talks and meetings, counting on the collaboration of OISTAT members and commissions.
This is the 3rd intake of SENA, a biennial project by OISTAT, which in each edition is organised by a different country; previously, in 2022 it was held in Rabat, Morocco and in Cairo, Egypt in 2020.
Since SENA was established six years ago, it seems like we have been in a constant state of emergency. After the global pandemic, we hoped for a more carefree time, but the continuous outbreaks of wars made us retreat into our own bubbles, waiting for it all to pass. “Practices That Speak” is the response to our times and the importance of building and strengthening communities, a way out of the everyday madness that surrounds us is precisely through support. As a community of artists, we believe that our weapon is our work and that through the practices we engage in, we can help make the world we live in a slightly better place.
This time, in Novi Sad, Serbia, SENA will take place in dialogue with a major event organised by SCEN, the BIENNALE OF SCENE DESIGN, offering the option of an extended programme until October 25th.
