Mesh Festival 2026 launches an open call that goes beyond artists and researchers: we actively welcome collaborations with technologists, collectives, NGOs, educational and community initiatives, and all actors shaping urban futures. The festival explores how digital technologies transform cities and how hybrid urban spaces—physical, virtual, ecological, algorithmic—can become more just, accessible, and sustainable. We seek experimental, artistic, research and collaboratiove projects that rethink “care” as a social, ecological, and technological practice embedded in the urban fabric.
