"...the festival is an inherent act of defiance against any attempt to cement hierarchies." - The New York Times

"Amidst the constant drumbeat of 2019's political talk, of raising walls and shutting out opposition — this year's globalFEST artists and organizers articulated a very clear vision, one that makes room for bracingly new voices." - NPR MUSIC

"...in the shadow of a government shutdown over a proposed border wall and other anti-immigrant hysteria, artists from Palestine, Mexico, Ukraine, South Africa, Colombia, and Mozambique erased borders..." - Rolling Stone

"Maybe you never heard of most of the acts, but the festival is so well curated that 90% of the acts are good and 60% are fabulous—high percentages for any festival, even those with better known acts. As a result, Globalfest sells out well in advance." - Paste Magazine
