What is a B_Tour? 

On a route through the public space, a guide leads an audience along a narrative and is therefore a narrator interpreting the urban space. A B_Tour generates an interaction between a guide, an audience and a space. B_Tours are engaging in the sense that they call for participation and enable exchange.A B_Tour questions the convention of a guided-tour and challenges its format. A B_Tour is conscious of the existence of multiple narratives and truths therefore it does not provide The True perception of a space. A B_Tour is not a spectacle. It is not a conventional touristic “alternative city tour”.

The festival is a multidisciplinary arts platform where various artistic expression/disciplines meet social activism.

We look for audio tours, video tours, tours without a guide, tours lead by animals! Anything goes.

B_Tour is an organization which revolves around guided-tours-as-an-artistic-strategy. The tours presented in B_Tour Festival provide both a fertile ground to bring audiences and artists together; and generate an artistic and local discussion about urban environments. B_Tours aim to provoke various forms of creative and active civil participation. Therefore, B_Tour is a platform for artists and citizens to network, share, collaborate, cooperate and exchange ideas about cities they live in.  B_Tours utilize participatory creative strategies in order to allow underrepresented narratives to surface and question the hegemonic discourse that shapes cities. This is why B_Tours explore for instance the politics of public space, psychogeography, gentrification and civil responsibility.
