Forecast Forum 10

From over 1,000 applications worldwide, the six renowned mentors of the 2025/26 Forecast edition have each invited three nominees to present their artistic proposals.


During three action-packed days, boundaries between disciplines and genres will be questioned, challenged, and transcended through performances and innovative artistic strategies in dialogue between mentors and the 18 nominees. At the end of the forum, each mentor will select one project to support until spring. These six projects will be showcased at the "Forecast Festival" in March 2026 at Radialsystem.


This year’s team of mentors includes theater maker and performer Lulu Obermayer, musician Sote, artist and filmmaker Ruth Patir, vocalist and composer Elaine Mitchener, video and installation artist James Richards, and designer and artist Hussein Chalayan.
