A three-day festival of contemporary musical genres particular to peripheral cultures that do not identify with western norms: hence the term <em>Outernational</em>. There will be a mix of live concerts (at <em>Gradina Uranus</em>) and DJ sets (at <em>The Ark</em>), as well as performance art and panels.<br />
<br />
<em>Outernational</em> is situated at the opposite end of International; it works with its own unique ways of making itself popular, not through mass-media, like international music, but rather by being discovered and brought to light by passionate people. It is a global phenomenon, although it draws from cultural and geographical peripheries from Central Asia, East Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe, including Romania.
