WayWORD Festival 2021
Description / Abstract
A festival led by students and young people, celebrating unconventional forms of artistic expression.
Together with a dedicated group of students and young people, the WORD Centre for Creative Writing has devised an exciting line-up of poets, novelists,
artists and other creatives for readings, performances, workshops and discussion panels. The festival is mostly taking place live online, with BSL interpretation throughout.
Now in its second year, events for 2021 feature Leila Aboulela, Graeme Armstrong, Claire Cunningham, Harry Josephine Giles, Kirstin Innes, A.L. Kennedy, Val McDermid, Zakiya McKenzie, Ely Percy, Karine Polwart, Dan Schreiber, Alan Warner, Irvine Welsh, Alex Wheatle, and many more! There is plenty to entice audiences of all ages and interests and all tickets are free.
Besides established authors and new talent, the festival focusses on more
unconventional forms of artistic expression: whether your thing is face and body
art, comedy, novels, film, songwriting, poetry, dance or live performance, there is something here for everyone.
