Rebels with a Cause!
A festival celebrating 50 years of activism at Warwick Arts Centre.
We will be marking the occasion this Autumn with a series of activities, events and projects rooted in the present, yet touching on our history as a place for radical thinking, as well as the University’s reputation for innovation.
Under the banner Rebels With A Cause! we explore activism, both loud and quiet, big and small. We challenge our understanding and experience the extraordinary. And with our exciting People’s Day, we hand over creative control to you.
Over the course of a few weeks we look forward to showing you an Arts Centre that’s looking forward to the next 50 years.
From the University visionaries of the 60s who from green fields, created a campus that put an arts centre at its core, to a space that champions creativity, celebrates artists and most importantly welcomes all communities.
