Why It Matters
UN//SCENE Festival is a UK-based creative platform spotlighting new voices in an industry often dominated by the familiar.
Rooted in collaboration, inclusion and innovation, it champions fresh voices, radical ideas, and lets inclusive storytelling take centre stage.
“We created UN//SCENE to be a stage for new thinking, new voices and new hope,” said founder Lucy Barbor, who works with a 15-strong committee.
“It’s time to shift the conversation and champion the future of creativity together.”
