This video features a candid conversation with Angelina Stipidi, producer and creator of the legendary Stereopicnic festival. We discussed how to bring the iconic project back to Krasnodar after seven years, the risks the organizer faces today, and why security has become more important than bureaucracy.

Angelina shared insights into the inner workings of the event industry: from finding like-minded people to engaging with a new audience in a large city. Why is Stereopicnic in Krasnodar Park more than just concerts? How to create an event that brings people together, and where can you find a foothold in uncertain times?
