The university's annual Arts Festival will return this May with its most ambitious program yet, featuring over 150 performances, exhibitions, and workshops across 10 days.

This year's theme, "Bridges," celebrates cross-cultural artistic collaboration and features artists from 22 countries. Highlights include a collaborative dance performance by companies from Brazil, Japan, and Nigeria; an immersive digital art installation exploring climate change; and a series of open-air concerts in the campus gardens.

Student work will be prominently featured, with a dedicated gallery showcasing pieces from final-year Fine Art and Design students.

For the first time, the festival will offer a virtual attendance option, streaming select performances and hosting online workshops for those unable to attend in person. Tickets go on sale April 28, with early-bird discounts available for students and staff.
