FlipSide Festival 2022

FlipSide returned to Yew Tree Farm for its first full post-Covid 19 festival in September 2022, with World in Motion: Journeys, Exile, Migration & Flight.

​

From trade to tourism, bird migration, pilgrimage, exile and climate collapse, the day explored how movement is central to human and non-human life on earth through six conversations. Featuring sessions with David Herd (Refugee Tales), Helen Macdonald, Hugh Brody, Julia Blackburn, Justin Butcher, Pious Keku (Gatwick Detainees Welfare Group), Victoria Preston, Vron Ware, William Atkins and Xiaolu Guo, the sold-out event sparked lively discussion between authors, activists and audiences.

​

On the eve of the festival, a collaboration between FlipSide and musicrooms saw Yew Tree Farm host an intimate concert with German composer Hannes Buder.
