Fjord Oslo Is One of the Rare Festivals Happening This Year

While many festivals around the world couldn’t happen this year due to the coronavirus pandemic, that’s not the case with Fjord Oslo—a free art festival with a unique concept. Unlike other festivals that require many visitors, Fjord Oslo’s concept allows it to happen even during this weird time.

Fjord Oslo first happened in 2019, and its goal was to deliver a collective art experience. The event was free for everyone, held outdoors, and turned out to be a big success. It comes back this year for three days in November. From November 6th to 8th, the most beautiful light installations will be exhibited at Oslo’s waterfront.

The artists are using various techniques like projection mapping and color movement. The capital of Norway provides the perfect backdrop for light art. Both the traditional buildings and new spaces are made a part of the festival in the most beautiful way.

“From projections onto landmark buildings to intimate installations, interactive light sculptures and immersive video work—the program of the second edition is dedicated to art that invites conversation about human impact on the future of our world,” the festival’s website reads.
