The Criss-Cross music programme by artist, queer activist, and curator Zosia Hołubowska consists of live acts and music sets that combine experimental and electronic club music. The invited musicians and DJs celebrate local communities and connections. Each event follows a no-headliner rule so that different scenes and initiatives from Austria and Central Europe come together on an equal footing over the summer. Expect music that questions genre borders, brave and vulnerable performances, and diversity of talents. The selection strives to center marginalized perspectives and music charged with subversive messages.
