Expression of interest to perform at The Embassy of Utopia, part of Festival of Libraries 2024
The Embassy of Utopia is an exciting collaboration between Manchester UNESCO City of Literature and Capital of Culture 2024 Tartu UNESCO City of Literature. Artists David Hartley and Henri Hütt have created a space for dreamers, poets, and you (yes, you) to share ideas too important to leave unspoken.

The Embassy of Utopia is a collective community action event whose doors were open from May 8th to 13th as part of the Prima Vista literature festival and Tartu 2024 European Capital of Culture program and now it's coming to Manchester Central Library 14-15th June 2024 as part of Festival of Libraries for its UK premiere.

There will be 120 performances over two days where bold individuals and community groups are invited to speak about their vision for the future. What has Manchester collectively got to say?

The performances should be no longer than 5 minutes long and will take place at Manchester Central Library on 14th and 15th June between 10.00-4.30pm during the Festival of Libraries 2024.

Manchester City of Literature will be in touch with you via the contact information you provide in order to confirm your performance slot in the coming weeks and you will receive an information pack to prepare for your performance.
