Welcome to Conflux

We have finished accepting submissions for the 7th Annual Conflux Festival, which will run October 08-10!

This year's festival will provide a platform for artists, urban geographers, technologists and others to organize and produce innovative activities dedicated to the examination, celebration and (re)construction of everyday urban life.

This year’s festival is based on themes of INVESTIGATION, ACTION and TRANSMISSION. Conflux participants will transform New York’s East Village into a laboratory for creative experimentation and civic action. Through public interventions, artist-facilitated walks and tours, interactive performances and installations, bike and subway expeditions, and more, Conflux artists will confront and rewrite the rules of urban public space.

The Conflux headquarters will be located in NYU Steinhardt’s Barney Building and will include a festival cafe and lounge. The HQ will serve as a central communications hub during the festival where artists and attendees can meet, swap ideas, and establish new communities of practice. Cutting-edge public space artists will be available in the headquarters throughout the weekend to skillshare, engage in conversation, entertain and provoke.

A schedule and more details about the 2010 Conflux Festival will be announced soon. Stay tuned!
