Any organisation, like the British Council, that wishes to further international cultural relations, has to have art at the core of its work. Artists are often the first reflectors of change, sometimes even the catalysts for it but they are always prime movers in a nation’s attempt to explain its culture to others, as well as to itself; defining a culture’s preoccupations, humour, its challenges as well as its triumphs. This festival is bringing together the next generation of artists who will create our cultural conversations and who will, through their personal and professional collaboration, seed a new global network of interdependent relationships.
