To celebrate their 20th anniversary, FACT has revealed its upcoming programme for 2023-2024.
This year, their line-up of immersive exhibitions and art experiences will be shaped by artists’ practices rooted in hope and joy. From ‘living on the internet’ to occupying space, artists share their reimaginings of a ‘better’ world where we hold a deeper understanding of each other. From a retro-futuristic arcade to an Acid House VR experience, enjoy something new, diverse and inspiring each time you visit.
