Heroes Festival is an act of resistance to indifference, closure, fear, feelings today that hinder the narration of the world we want, where the differences are wealth, the relationships and the encounter with the Altrosed they represent the premises for a less resentful society. In a time when the sound of crises threatens to suffocate positive imaginations, we choose music as an instrument of awakening, space of expression, sharing and knowledge. This year more than ever, we bring voices, stories and visions on stage that offer the possibility of exploring different worlds and that allow us to look at the Altrosed, its identity, its history and culture as a resource and wealth and not as threat. Because we believe in music as a concrete act and the possibility of social and cultural change.

Thanks also to the strong harmony with Asvis and with all the partners who accompany us, Heroes is not just a festival: it is a place where the community rediscovers, where the differences not only meet, but are confirmed as our greatest wealth.
