The Final Frontier Festival

Two-day Festival exploring Bristol’s art/activism

The iconic Bristol Bear, who once welcomed many to Bristol in its former home of the Bear Pit, will be displayed as part of an exhibition showcasing the history of creative activism in Bristol across the weekend.

Exhibition open from 12.30pm Saturday and 10.30am Sunday.

A series of inspiring talks have been programmed throughout the two days. See below for more details.

Day 1: Art, Roots, Revolution

From reclaiming nature, the landscape and the body to building alternative communities, Bristol’s many protest movements are linked by a common thread. They aim to bring us back to the roots of what makes us human and connected. Across this day we explore the many ways in which creativity is central to protest and reconnection.

Workshops led by Bristol City Poet Caleb Parkin, hip-hop artist Craft D, Ruth Ramsay, and more.

Day 2: Call This Equality?

As International Women's Day nears, artists and activists will explore challenging questions around classism and sexism and celebrate female desire, the body, asking how far, if at all, women have made progress in reclaiming the body.

Our talks programme will be followed by performance Dry Season by Kat Lyons. Please click here for tickets and more information.

Resistance is never futile

Entry is Free – Walk ups allowed but please pre-register for the session(s) you wish to attend to help us manage numbers.
