Contemporary Lynx was invited to the press trip to Graz in Austria. We took part in the opening of the festival steirischerherbst.
In a dense program of exhibitions, performances, and discussions, the 55th festival edition, A War in the
Distance, addresses a topic that is often mentally kept at bay: the persistent presence of wars in close proximity to Styria, Austria, and Western Europe.
