The c.sides Festival for Independent Electronic Music and New Media Arts is a three day independent and non-commercial international festival for artists, producers and musicians working in mediums of electronic and digital art and who are interested in creating a platform for exchange, networking and discussion concerning issues of art, social, political and cultural concern.
The festival which will take place in Jerusalem for three consecutive days and nights, August 29th - August 31st 2006 is a convergence between a media arts festival and a conference including various performing stages, exhibitions, workshops and theoretical discussions and panels.
About 100 international and local artists will participate in the festival as well as in a introductory program for participants that will address the social, political and cultural situation in Jerusalem, Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories and will include meetings with local artists, cultural institutions, human rights advocates and social justice organizations active in the city.
c.sides developed out of a continuous exchange that took place between independent German, Israeli and Palestinian musicians, artists, activists and organizations for human rights and social change in the years 2003-2005 and came to fruition in 2005 with the first c.sides festival in Jerusalem.
