Themed Experience
This year’s festival emphasizes a compelling theme: “Chapter Five: Radical Redesign.” According to Boomtown Creative Director Mair Morel, this theme goes beyond narrative. It invites attendees to reconsider their modes of living, social connections, and creativity.
Exploring New Models of Connection
Morel elaborates on the intention behind the theme. “Radical Redesign is a response to both rapid progress and increasing division,” she states. “Boomtown aims to present an alternative model focused on community and collective joy.” The festival encourages reflection on what aspects of our lives need rebuilding and how we can balance our relationship with nature and shared goals.
