Lancaster Arts and The Gregson Community & Arts Centre are coming together to present the Festival of Dissent on Saturday 5 September.
The whole building (and beyond) will be taken over by surprising creative opportunities to explore what dissent can mean through art, ideas and shared experiences.
What does dissent mean to you?
We often think of dissent as protest or public action. But every act of dissent begins somewhere. Perhaps it begins with the moment you question something you’ve always accepted. The decision to do things differently. The courage to imagine another way.
Some experiences will invite you to take part. Others ask you to pause, notice or look again. However you choose to spend your time, we hope you'll leave with new ideas, new connections and perhaps... a little changed.
Who is it for?
Festival of Dissent is for everyone. Whether you're an artist, student, local resident, family, curious visitor or someone discovering Lancaster Arts or the Gregson for the first time, you'll be welcome.
The full programme, including artist commissions, booking information and event timings, will be announced over the coming weeks.
Come curious. Leave a little changed.
