Whitstable Biennale 2018
14th May 2018
Whitstable Biennale 2018 takes the title for this year’s festival from the groundbreaking book Swimming Home by acclaimed writer Deborah Levy. Dark undercurrents flow through the book, and the line ‘Life is only worth living because we hope it will get better and we’ll all get home safely’ becomes key to this experimental work where a sense of home and belonging is unstable and elusive. Many of the works in the festival touch directly or indirectly on ideas connected to global movement, exile, how we find ‘home’ and the instability of language and identity.
The festival runs from 2-10 June in venues across Whitstable.
