Audiovisual bridges between four platforms and three cities
Nature as Magic is a collaborative project creating audiovisual bridges between four organisations in three cities, supported by Suomalais-virolainen Kulttuurisäätiö (Finnish-Estonian Cultural Foundation).
The collaboration consists of four events including multidisciplinary audiovisual performances. Each platform hosts one event and the other platforms contribute to it by proposing musical or visual acts. Each event is streamed for online audiences.
