Outriders Festival
4 editions. Every year, a different city. Every year, a different question about the world.
"The best storytelling festival in Poland."
— newonce.mediaOrigins
Outriders Festival was born from Festiwal Wachlarz — a travel and reportage festival founded that ran 12 editions across Poland between 2013 and 2019. When COVID hit in 2020, the festival moved online. It never looked back — and in 2021, it returned in person, bigger, more international, and in a new home.
Okno na świat
Born during lockdown. 11 live presentations streamed online, with speakers from MIT, the UK, and Poland. A window opened when all the physical ones closed.
Żyrardów
4 days. 3 stages. CNN, Spain, Poland. A 19th-century factory hall. A live concert. A book premiere. Called 'the best storytelling festival in Poland'.
Sąsiedztwo
Neighbourhood — as geography, society, and ecology. One presentation went viral: 7,600 views. The rest of the internet still hasn't caught up.
Nadzieja / Hope
Hope, after everything. The festival came home to Warsaw, and opened the doors of Outriders Klub for the first time.
