Borealis 2025 – Briefly summarized

Borealis 2025 was five days of sound and music from all over the world – from Hong Kong to Sápmi, Indonesia to Palestine. We heard the weird, the raw, the funny and the gut-wrenching. The festival reminded us that the world is chaotic, but also how great it is to come together and experience something together.
