Some of the concerns of the festival include investigating ways in which arts can move us from binary positions to ones which are more fluid; how we can shift from in-action to action, from anti-social to pro-social, and, ultimately, from oppression to liberation. Themes that will be addressed at the festival include building a human rights culture through arts activism as well as sexual health and wellbeing thought Arts Education.
