In response to the ongoing pandemic, CTM 2022 took place in two parts. Part 1 focused on in-person formats that remained safe for artists and the public – sound installations, select seated concerts, the CTM Exhibition, part of the Discourse programme – as well as several online offerings.
Part 2 featured the festival’s club and concert programme, the MusicMakers Hacklab, and further hybrid in-person/streamed Discourse programme events. In splitting the festival we sought to stay adaptive to the unpredictable nature of the pandemic while preserving important forms of continuity – encouraging connections, supporting ongoing artistic work, and engaging in crucial dialogues.
One of the most important things that music and a music festival like CTM can bring about is contact – with diverse sonic worlds, communities, and experiences, but also between traditions, temporalities, geographies. As the social functions of music and festivals have been weakened, and as we grappled with a multiplicity of waves and meanings of »reopening,« CTM 2022 aimed to highlight the importance of creating space for many forms of contact, and to reflect on their requirements. How can we revive, rethink, and strengthen music and its spaces of possibility for exchange and emotional resonance? Because without new and challenging forms of contact in the present, we cannot expect a more collective, just, and joyful future.
