Join us at the Belgrade for See It First 2026 - a programme of new work, workshops and conversations between artists and audiences.
Once again, the Belgrade will become an artistic hub for the region, because we are passionate about new work, unearthing new stories and sharing them with people who want to see them.
See It First is for the curious, for artists in search of inspiration and audiences in search of new adventure!
