New Works New Worlds Festival
'Dare to imagine the world anew...'
New Works New Worlds festival promotes an inspiring fusion of creativity and social innovation, encouraging artists to explore their connections to the wider world and express their findings through performance, visual art, writing and music. In 2009, NWNW presented the work of 14 inspiring artists. For details of the 2009 programme please click here.

NWNW started in 2005 as New Writing New Worlds, a festival dedicated to new performance and literary development. The festival has since evolved to find a niche in the Scottish cultural landscape: programming politically and globally engaged art and continuing to support visionary artists through grass roots experimentation.
