Outside the Lines: Student-led literary festival hopes to embrace diversity within º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ community

From 29 May-3 June, º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ master’s students are running ‘Outside the Lines’, a literary festival to celebrate diversity in º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ.

The festival is free and will involve several days of creative writing, screenings, readings and many more immersive experiences for all ages. The festival is open to the º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ community with events taking place on campus and in º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ town centre.

Each year students on the master’s course ‘Creative Writing and the Writing Industries’ undertake a project-based module called ‘Writing in the Community’. During this module, students collectively plan, curate, promote, and hold a literary festival funded and supported by LU Arts.

Outside the Lines festival aims to celebrate eccentricity and non-conformity in a climate that opts to push diversity to the sidelines.

The schedule of events taking place is as follows:

29 May

30 May

31 May

1 June

2 June

3 June
