CULTIVATING OUR FUTURE

CHANGE Festival is an environmental arts organisation that inspires cultural shifts through stories and gatherings.

Led by artists and creative directors Becky Burchell and Sophie Austin, CHANGE Festival creates work in multiple artforms and locations, from festivals in renowned arts centres to rituals in rural villages.

We collaborate with other artists, charities, communities, environmentalists and - most importantly - nature.

Through films, stories, plays, music, talks, gatherings and more, we invite you to be part of the cultural changes that are inspiring a regenerative future.

We are emergent, evolving, curious, inclusive and innovative.

We practice hopeism over doomism.

We choose joy over despair.

We are a festival of CHANGE.
