About
Re–Fest 2022

The theme for Re–Fest 2022 is Re-Unification, which asks: how should we come back together to imagine the world we want to create after periods of social isolation, political unrest, and devastating loss?

CultureHub’s annual festival activates our community through performances, workshops, conversations, and a gallery of video art by 100 artists presented in a custom-built virtual space. Re–Fest 2022 will kick off on Monday, March 14 with the virtual gallery opening followed by daily workshops and conversations. Live performances will take place on Friday, March 18 and Friday, March 25.

 

Virtual Venue

Enter the Re–Fest virtual venue at any time between March 14–25 to explore the virtual gallery, collaborative drawing room, and performance space.
