Horizons Festival will take place at HOME during the weekend of Friday 12 and Saturday 13 June.
Horizons is a free global arts festival in the heart of Manchester.
Horizons Festival is curated by HOME and Community Arts North West (CAN) in collaboration with the Arts and Migration Group and is proudly supported by The Evan Cornish Foundation.
Over two days, the festival will feature live music, global cinema, family-friendly art, stand-up comedy and discussion.
Taking place as part of Refugee Week, the programme connects the creativity of Greater Manchester artists and communities with global stories.
Each year, the Horizons curators seek out new artistic voices from Greater Manchester to bring contemporary stories of migration to the forefront through new creative work.
By honouring these layered histories and commissioning artists to shape their own narratives, Horizons celebrates migration not only as movement but also as unique personal stories and a relationship to belonging, resilience, and creative practice.
Come along and join in with our city’s long-held tradition of celebrating and welcoming international cultures and creativity.
The full programme will be announced in May.
