Submerge Festival
18th - 20th November 2016
A weekend of audio-visual arts, electronic music and live performance that will leave you gasping for air.
“The light drummed against his brain, bathing the submerged levels below his consciousness, carrying him downwards to warm pellucid depths, where the nominal realities of time and space ceased to exist.”
- J.G. Ballard, The Drowned World
Find out what lies beneath the surface with Submerge, a new hybrid arts festival which brings together live performance, audio-visual art and electronic music. Submerge is a festival for the adventurous and inquisitive, presented through a series of events designed to immerse, engulf and consume audiences. The festival presents cutting edge and experimental art from the UK alongside internationally acclaimed artists from France, Italy, Canada and the USA.
Submerge 2016: Fathoms
Curated around the theme Fathoms, Submerge 2016 will take you on a journey into the watery depths. Join us as at four extraordinary locations across the city, from the hallowed halls of established institutions to the unexplored and the underground. Take a deep breath and dive with us into the dark waters of our drowned world, before allowing us to bring you back to the surface gasping for air.
The best way to see the festival is to get a festival pass (LINK) which will allow entry into all five Submerge Festival events (other than The Cube which is separately ticketed). General Festival passes save you money, or you can buy a supporter pass which includes a donation to the festival and will enable us to continue Submerge into it's second year.
We invite you to document your journey on social media using #SubmergeFest. We hope you’ll throw yourself into the deep end and enjoy the festival as much as we’ve enjoyed putting it together for you.
