Letošnja 18. izvedba festivala nosi naslov NO MORE SILENCE (Brez tišine) in je nadaljevanje preteklih edicij, imenovanih Prihodnost (Future), Krhkost (Fragile) in Naravnost (NaturAL(L)). NO MORE SILENCE je aktualno vodilo festivala ART STAYS, a hkrati tudi opozorilo, saj ponuja kritičen, mestoma dramatično ironičen pristop do časa, v katerem živimo. Že pred časom začeta raziskava, ki temelji na predpostavki, da moramo z najvišjo stopnjo nujnosti prisluhniti ranljivosti našega sveta, če želimo preoblikovati prihodnost, in ki se je danes, v času covida-19, znašla v nepričakovani, s tišino obdani in redefinirani fazi, se ozira na zvok, glasbo, besedo, praznino, notranji in zunanji konflikt ter na človekovo nenehno željo, da omogoči glas prostoru, času, komunikaciji in odnosom. ART STAYS 2020. NO MORE SILENCE. Berimo tišino, da lahko slišimo; osvobodimo se vsega, da lahko spet zaživimo in ponovno razmislimo o samih sebi in svetu. This year’s 18th edition of the festival is titled NO MORE SILENCE and is a continuation of previous editions, entitled Future, Fragile, and NaturAL(L). NO MORE SILENCE is not only the current motto of the Festival ART STAYS, but also a warning, as it offers a critical, albeit occasionally dramatically ironic approach to the times we live in. A research that began some time ago from the premise that fragility of the world needs to be addressed with utmost urgency in order to rethink our future, has now made an unexpected turn into a phase consisting mostly of “silence”, redefining itself in the time of COVID-19; it maintains a vision to sound, music, words, emptiness, internal and external conflicts, as well as to man’s continuous desire to give voice to space,
