People’s Pavilion Festival 2023
A Beyond The Box Initiative
Location
East London
The People’s Pavilion Festival is a free community festival produced by Beyond The Box and our team of young cultural producers who we commission from across East London.
The project provides practical skills development and paid employment opportunities to young emerging producers between the ages of 16-25 from across East London to produce an event of their choosing as part of the festival line-up.
The project seeks to discover the young cultural producers of tomorrow, flipping the script on who gets to curate space, celebrate culture and tell stories.
The People’s Pavilion Festival takes its name from our People’s Pavilion project (see here), a temporary structure that is designed by young people to host a free community festival. Leading to one of London’s only spaces designed, built and curated by young people.
The festival ran for 2 weeks and saw collaborations with over 50; artists, musicians, DJ’s, film directors and producers, choreographers, community organisations, practitioners and more. The project provides investment into arts and culture, as we commission all collaborators, continuing our commitment to equity by design.
