Key points of discussion:
A multifaceted arts festival in numerous locations, which include performances, workshops, publications, exhibitions and installations (audio visual), architecture, broadcast (live, pre-recorded and podcast) and misguided tours.
Media used will be visual (photography, illustration, painting), and audio (music, sounds, poetry, narrative), written (prose, poetry), performance (theatre).
The concepts running through the theme of STORY include displacement, personal and interpersonal issues, fragmented narratives, intergenerational issues, incorporating historical factual stories, urban myths and human traditions both ancient and modern. Identity for the project in a word would be any of the following: railway tracks, maps, trees, people, festival, carnival, DNA double helix, wishing well.

This project will link very well with the proposal of a multi-facetic project proposed earlier in Hillingod. The idea was titled: West London Lost stories. An intergenerational exchange.
