EXHIBITIONS
Art, photography, illustration, design, installations and work that needs a physical space.
WINDERVALE / FESTIVAL / 01
A FESTIVAL
FOR THINGS
THAT SHOULD EXIST.
A gathering of independent writers, filmmakers, artists, musicians, publishers, photographers and people making things outside the usual places.
02 / THE IDEA
NOT A
CONFERENCE.
NOT A FAIR.
Windervale Festival is a physical gathering for independent creative work.
Three days of exhibitions, screenings, readings, performances, workshops, conversations, music, publications, installations and things that are difficult to put into categories.
It is built around the people making the work, not around institutions deciding which work deserves to be seen.
Come to discover something. Come to show something. Come because you are making something.
03 / THE FIELD
WHAT YOU
MIGHT FIND.
FILM
Independent films, short films, experimental cinema, documentaries and screenings.
LITERATURE
Writers, poets, books, readings, independent presses, magazines and zines.
MUSIC
Independent musicians, composers, experimental sound and live performances.
WORKSHOPS
Small rooms, open tables and people teaching the things they know how to make.
CONVERSATIONS
Writers, artists, filmmakers, publishers and thinkers talking about the work behind the work.
PUBLICATIONS
Independent magazines, zines, books, printed matter and small publishing projects.
THE UNEXPECTED
Something we haven't thought of yet. That's kind of the point.

05 / SHOW YOUR WORK
HAVE
SOMETHING
TO SHOW?
We're building an open exhibition field for independent creative work.
You don't need to fit into a traditional gallery, publishing house, label or institution.
If there is something you've made that deserves to exist in a room with other people, tell us about it.
