Leicester is a creative melting pot boasting glorious diversity and an ambition for inspiring every neighbourhood and community using art and culture. ArtReach is the driving force behind dozens of European street art festivals bringing communities from different backgrounds together including the annual Journeys Festival International bringing together refugee artists and the asylum-seeking community into one artistic event celebrating lives and talent.
This year the festival will take a different direction and for the first time, the Leicester, Manchester and Portsmouth festival combines programming to bring 3 weeks of digital creativity, online content and world-class experiences from 28 September to 18 October. The festival kicks off with This is Now Not for Me by Iman Tajik. A series of performative photographs responding to the Coronavirus pandemic and a chance to understand more about the refugee-seeking experience and the new understanding we all now have on restricted movement.
Let's take a whistle-stop tour and highlight just some of the events taking place throughout the 3 weeks.
