Inspiring Women

Viv Albertine, wearing a white shirt and black suit jacket.

Embrace female empowerment at this year’s Festival. Be caught up in the dynamic songs of West African female super-group, Les Amazones d’Afrique, who campaign for gender equality through their energetic music, or channel your own creativity by joining our Processions workshops to make a banner that will form part of a mass promenade to mark the centenary of women gaining the right to vote.

Our City Of Literature Weekend has plenty of girl power to offer: punk royalty Viv Albertine will be discussing To Throw Away Unopened, the follow up to her bestselling memoir, Clothes, Clothes, Clothes. Music, Music, Music. Boy, Boys, Boys.; Sarah Perry and special guests will be celebrating some landmark literary moments as Virago Modern Classics turn 40; and author Caitlin Davies will be talking about Bad Girls, A History of Rebels and Renegades, a book that explores the brave, rebellious and defiant women who have spent time in Holloway Prison; from suffragettes and spies to refugees and freedom fighters.

Arts make life better

Norfolk & Norwich Festival brings tens of thousands of people together in celebration – it has been doing this for over 250 years. Through our May Festival and our year-round arts education work, focusing on children and young people, we lead and support celebration, creativity and curiosity in communities across Norfolk and the region.

This year we begin an exciting new initiative, Festival Connect & Create that will bring creative opportunities to those schools and communities with least provision. Creativity transforms people’s lives. It builds cohesive communities, develops vital skills and supports health and wellbeing. We want more people to have access to creative opportunities.

Please consider donating to support and develop this work. With your help we can increase access to the life changing power of the arts.
