WHAT IS SKFEST?
SKFEST is an annual multidisciplinary micro-festival that celebrates the richness of London’s contemporary culture.
2018’s edition spans across three days in the heart of Tottenham at Bernie Grant Arts Centre between 23-25 August. Now in its third successful year, the festival will be embracing the notion of London being a home for all by showcasing an artistically and culturally diverse range of talent from the local community and beyond – giving a platform to emerging talent working in a range of fields within the creative arts sector.
We aim for SKFEST to encapsulate everything that we do: amplifying the voices that society often marginalises, while professionally developing and showcasing early to mid-career artists – with a particular focus on POC creators and makers who identify as working class and/or LGBTQ+.

WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT 2018?
This year flagship cross-arts festival boasts theatre, film, live music, performance poetry, live art, talks, drop-in and intensive workshops, outdoor performances, and a feature theatre production directed by S+K's Associate Director.
With specially curated events by S+K featuring some of the most exciting names in their respective fields, these three days are not to be missed. Have a look at our programme; there's an unbelievable amount to see and do.
As an unfunded, not-for-profit organisation, all of the revenue generated from SKFEST goes back into paying our participating artists and creating more opportunities for their professional development through out work. It may not look like it from our cheap ticket prices, but we are reliant on your generosity for us to continue to exist and thrive – go get your tickets now and tell your friends!

"2018 has been S+K’s most ambitious year so far artistically and operationally, delivering an extensive programme of work that aims to reach specific groups in various communities across the UK.
The festival is going to encompass that and so much more, and will encapsulate the passion behind all of our projects in just three days."
– Malakai sargeant, artistic director
