No. 80 Festival

We aim to reclaim the word ‘other’ for those who are marginalised within the arts. At this festival, we bring the community together and set a level of collective care unknown to our city, to witness one another in our otherness. To see and be seen. The name No. 80 comes from a previous tick box in the UK population census. It designated other races/ethnicities that did not make the main list. We are taking up space in a colonially-led city to make a stand against the stigmatisation of those of us who have felt powerless in our society.
