Fabrication: Arts & Humanities Festival 2015

From the 12 to the 23 October, the 2015 Arts & Humanities festival will explore the creative and ambiguous theme of 'Fabrication' through a fortnight of events at the Strand campus. A range of events including talks, performances, workshops and exhibitions will take place across King's, most of which are free and all are open to the public. These events will give an insight in to the range of research being carried out in the Faculty of Arts & Humanities and give a sense of the creativity and innovative thinking at King's. The Arts & Humanities Festival is an annual opportunity for collaboration between departments, across King's and with external partners and is a showcase of academic excellence with an emphasis on practical applications and public engagement. This year's theme has crucial relevance to the study of the Arts & Humanities and its ambiguity captures the critical attitude universities bring to research on texts, fabrics or any other material objects. Director of the Festival and the Arts & Humanities Research Institute and, Max Saunders, said: 'The suggestiveness of fabrication takes us to the core of the arts and humanities. The original meaning of 'fabricate' is 'to make anything that requires skill'.
