Radical Love is the 2023 Theme
We continue to look at the human condition for each edition's theme
Based on the psychedelic tradition of the Boom Festival, expanding boundaries, discovering new dimensions of the Self and the Other, and generating new approaches to love and affection that have the potential to generate change in the system. In an era of polarisation like the one we're living today, the ability to empathise is of fundamental importance.
Putting ourselves in the other's shoes, questioning individual and social assumptions. More active listening, more empathy and compassion are imperative. Radical Love is needed.
