Urban Heat is a project developed by the Festivals in Transition (FIT) network of 13 international festival partners and supported by EU programme Creative Europe, which enables artists to engage with the invisible communities within cities. The four year project supports artists to reconnect with the world outside the arts by addressing urgent political and social issues, and by working with audiences and communities affected by those issues. The outcome of project activities will be the programme of Homo Novus 2017. Latvia is represented in the project by theatre and film director Krista Burāne.
