The Mikser Festival is an annual exhibition promoting design, architecture, urban planning, new technologies, art, music, and communications in Serbia.[1][2] It was founded in 2006 by architect Maja Vidaković Lalić. The festival invites international and local experts from creative industries.[3] It features lectures, competitions, workshops, exhibits, concerts, films, and theater plays.[4]
The festival occurs once a year in Belgrade at the end of May or the beginning of June and usually lasts 4 to 7 days. The first one was held at the "Žitomlin" silo in the Dorćol area of Belgrade.[1] Subsequently, it was held in Belgrade's once-derelict industrial zone of Savamala to help revitalize that area before returning to Dorćol in 2017.[5]
Its attendance grew from 40,000 in 2010 to 75,000 in 2017.[5]
The festival is part of the Mikser umbrella organization, which includes the Mikser House, a gallery and cultural space in the Savamala neighborhood.[6] The group also operates reMiks Studio, Mikser TV, the Mikser Organization, the Miksalište Refugee Center, the Mikser Café, and the Balkan Design store.[7]
The Mikser Festival sometimes collaborates with other events. In 2006, its Ghost Project exhibit appeared at Belgrade Design Week. The multimedia installation initially focused on local unrealized projects in industrial design, and since 2011, it has evolved into a competition for international designers.[8][9][10][11]
