PLACCC Festival Budapest, 19 - 21 September
On the weekend of September 19th and 21st you can take part in projects that will bring less-known parts of the city to light. After touring in various countries around the world, the Kud Ljud team from Slovenia will be bringing Streetwalker Gallery, a guided walk and urban installation into the heart of Budapest.

You can also get a glimpse into the DoN’t Eat Group’s unique, live video installation of various city spaces: LOOP EVENT will let you experience different locations in Csepel, Kelenföld and the Belváros in a totally new way. This weekend we will also be continuing the successful This Place is COOL! series with new virtual map pins being set in the city streets – a special treasure hunt in the Ninth District, a journey into the past, with many surprises in store!

Interacting the city

Between September 24th and 26th, on the last weekend of the festival, the focus will be on the interactive connection between audience, artist and the urban space. The internationally renowned Danish Kitt JOHNSON will have the premier performance of her master class work with various Hungarian dancers in the streets of Budapest.

From Great Britain, Jessica DOLBY will be mapping the city one small picture at a time, while also giving an introduction into the psychology of city spaces through a special guided tour of her work. And everyday at midnight the members of Teleport Gallery will be holding special performance-based happenings in Clark Ádám square, by the 0 km stone with the project title: ( 0 ).

The tenth PLACCC will be an important occasion for organizers and artists alike, and you will have a chance to experience everything that the festival was founded to host seven years ago! Let’s shred some new light on the familiar cityscape of Budapest – come join us this September, and let’s hack the city together!
