A transdisciplinary festival exploring waste ecologies through art, performance, and collective research.

July 3–27, 2025
Rotterdam

Welcome to the third edition of Wasteland Festival. This year, we delve into the unseen infrastructures of waste in Rotterdam. Through exhibitions, installations, performances, workshops, and discussions, we invite you to reimagine waste not as a byproduct, but as a lens to understand our world.
