‘Niemand is een eiland’ (No one is an Island) reflects the sensitive everyday connection of fauna and flora. The duality of everything that exists reinforces the fragility of that great connection. As in previous editions, the artistic content of Stadsfestival Damme grows organically around the vision of artists, writers, poets and other creative partners.

Kunstenfestival Damme presents collected stories every year. The power of the word and the power of the image play the main roles. With a combination of literature, poetry, visual art, photography, philosophy, heritage, nature and gastronomy, the Kunstenfestival Damme is an experience for young and old. Damme likes to give you time to relax, discover and meet people.

Sara Bomans takes part with her sculpture ‘what have you done’ (from the series ‘I do not’, 2021).
