In 2026, the INTERVALS, Russia's largest international festival of multimedia art, will take place in Nizhny Novgorod for the 9th time — from April 23 to 26.
This year, the festival's theme is signs and symbols.
A sign is a functional code of communication that sets the conditions for interaction. Its effect is instantaneous and reaches a large number of people.
A symbol is an image, often deeply personal, that carries feelings, memory, and attitude. It is not limited by form or time.
The festival views the city as an infrastructure of meanings: a network of signs and symbols (both physical and digital) that manages perception and shapes collective memory. Artistic works intervene in this network, altering connections and creating new pathways of perception.
The INTERVALS 2026 program features a large-scale urban media exhibition by artists and studios from various countries: Anton Morokov, Denis Astakhov, dreamlaser, Filip Roca, Quayola (Italy), Josep Poblet (Spain), KBDUKE, mammasONica (Italy), OUROBOROS, PANTERRA, Saeed Gebaan (Saudi Arabia), Sasha Kojjio, SKGPLUS (China), and others. Festival partners T-Bank and T2 will also present their multimedia installations.
In addition to the media exhibition, visitors can look forward to a rich parallel program:
April 23 — Opening Concert
April 24–25 — AV Performances
April 25 — Night Program
April 25–26 — Educational Program
The music program will feature Vladimir Varnava, Attaque de panique, Varnava Dance Co, GLUM (live), Symbol (live band), Husky (live), Metro Gorkovskaya, and Kirill Shapovalov.
Audiovisual performances will be presented by 404.zero, digital moss, Shihua Ma, and arthew0.
As always, entry to the exhibition and educational programs is free. Tickets for other activities must be purchased in advance.
