LAS Festival returns for its second edition with The Altar, a multi-disciplinary celebration exploring what we worship now and how the sacred is constructed in contemporary life. Spanning two weeks with four distinct core days, each event is curated independently and devoted to a single artistic discipline.
The festival brings together over 50 artists and practitioners across taste, textiles, performance, and sound. Every day begins with its own opening ceremony before the evening unfolds with live music, artist performances, and immersive installations.
