The festival director, Bethany Moreton, expresses her joy in gathering talented individuals in a setting that encourages self-expression. The festival incorporates a narrative approach, blurring reality lines and integrating the surroundings into an immersive world.
In addition to music and art, the festival features a Caribbean food vendor, interactive installations, and clothing stalls from Brick Lane.
