Something different!
We visit the Fête of Britain to investigate the future of democracy, a giant ear, a UN marble run, a Brian Eno audio-visual-scape and the sounds of Manchester's finest on the LOWD Soundsystem...
This is an invitation to musicians, creatives, organisers, activists and anyone who wishes they could fix up the world a bit.
We all know the problems. This event was about the solutions. Hope, imagination, mobilisation and our collective potential to ✨ the future.
The Fête of Britain was a festival of art, comedy, music and activism from the newly formed Hard Art collective. As Lee Jasper put it “A cultural thought experiment into the future of democracy” with a healthy dose of lols, people power and proper knees up with the LOWD Soundsystem 💃😤

· Extinction Rebellion Co-founder Clare Farrell
· 40 year activist and former advisor to the Mayor of London Lee Jasper
