Unfolding as a “festival within the festival” in collaboration with SPRING Performing Arts Festival in Utrecht from 14 to 23 May 2026, the 8th Edition of the Asia–Europe Cultural Festival (AECFest) explores Asia–Europe collaboration as a lived condition: embodied, negotiated, and constantly shifting. Rather than treating it as a geopolitical abstraction, the festival considers how connection unfolds in practice — through migration and mythology, public gathering and digital culture, shared rituals, and everyday gestures.
14 - 23 MAY | UTRECHT, THE NETHERLANDS
