Doors Open Festival (PAF)

June 4-7, Cremona once again becomes the beating heart of cultural confrontation. In a fragmented world, PAF chooses to start afresh from what unites us.

This year's theme: DEMOS
This year we will reflect on collectivity, active participation and rights: Demos is the meeting of cultures, the bond that creates community and the space in which to give voice to minorities.

The poster
This edition's poster (which you see in this post!) is by Grazia La Padula, an internationally renowned artist whose poetic and revolutionary stroke speaks to us about care, affection and encounters that defy all prejudice.

The venues of this edition
The festival will take us, again this year, to some of the most beautiful palaces of the city:
- Morning: Courtyard of Palazzo Affaitati
- Afternoon: Courtyard of Palazzo Roncadelli Manna
- Evening: Courtyard Federico II

The first names!
A very rich program between literature, comics and music. Among the many guests we will find:
- Literature: Luca Bianchini, Veronica Raimo, Christian Raimo, Paolo Di Paolo, Annalisa Camilli
- Comics: Grazia La Padula and Iranian author Majid Bita
- Music: Ginevra Di Marco (homage to Sepúlveda), Andrea Chimenti and the young revelation Tära
..and many others, including the much-followed literary readings with Elena Radonicich and Paola Caridi.

And the full program?
The wait is about to end: the final calendar with all the events and guests will be officially announced on MAY 28.
The countdown begins. See you at PAF!
