More info

Bradford Threadfest is a joint effort by a collective of individuals, groups and organisations with support from University of Bradford and Bradford City Council.

The cross-city, multi-venue event will be bigger than ever, broadening its remit to offer a free taste of the city's underground and independent art, film, performance and theatre alongside music.

There include Art In Unusual Spaces, a Community Interest Company who curate and commission art in the public realm, who have a programme of activity focused in the city's Oastler Market. They will create the Dark Matter Institute, a temporary gallery that celebrates the hidden mass of informal creativity that emerges both within and outside of the mainstream; the bleed between the amateur and the professional; work and play; the tensions between making a living and loving what you do; and the precarious conditions, temporary contracts, enforced flexibility, economic recession and strategies of austerity that background this.

The Dark Matter Institute will show a diverse range of work including performance, theatre, film, music and print including commissions from artists across the UK and projects made in response to the market and its people.

Note this event has no camping.
