b-side Festival 2018, Portland, Dorset

One amazing island

b-side celebrates 10 years in 2018 and our biennial festival returns to Portland, showcasing the very best in contemporary art, made in response to this beautiful, intriguing and extraordinary island.

Often simultaneously playful and challenging, our artistic programme results from conversations between artists and producers with the residents and communities of Portland. This year we are really thrilled to be joined by a group of young producers who have worked together over the last year to bring their own festival to Portland, WHY festival explores youth rights and youth voice and takes places over the second Festival weekend.
