History of Freedom FestivalFreedom Festival celebrates, through artistic and cultural expression, Hull’s independent spirit and historic contribution to the cause of freedom. Born in 2007 out of the William Wilberforce commemorations, Freedom Festival is an annual highlight of the city’s artistic and cultural programme. It is beginning to establish a reputation nationally as a leading family-centric arts festival.

We believe that ‘Freedom’ must be more than just its name. The concept of ‘freedom’ should be articulated throughout the festival content and supporting activities, by a commitment to exploring local, national and international representations of freedom, independence of spirit and creative expression.

Hosting a wealth of local, regional, national and international talent, the festival is a wonderfully eclectic mix of dance, music, theatre, circus, art, poetry and performance. It defi nes Hull’s aspirations, crossing demographic and socio-economic boundaries, making the arts accessible to all.

DISCLAIMER: Freedom Festival is programmed, managed and produced by Walk The Plank on behalf of Freedom Festival Ltd. Whilst every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the information detailed in this programme, the organisers cannot accept responsibility for any errors and omissions nor for any consequences arising from the use of this leafl et. All information correct at time of going to print. All events subject to license.

Hull City Council is proud to play a key role in the Freedom Festival. Freedom has always been at the heart of Hull’s cultural offering, and now as a City of Culture Candidate City, the weekend is set to encapsulate all that our vibrant city has to offer in a rich, hugely varied programme.

Councillor Terry Geraghty, Portfolio Holder, Hull City Council

forewordWelcome to the Freedom Festival!... This year’s programme, kindly supported by Hull City Council, the Arts Council and other invaluable sponsors, promises to be more diverse, spectacular and richer than ever before.

Put together by Walk the Plank, our prestigious Festival Directors, it goes back to the roots of Freedom and succeeds in striking a fabulous balance between international, national and local acts (the true beating heart of the festival)– with the majority of events free to attend.

For the people of Hull, it is your festival. For visitors to our quirky and wonderful city, it is your chance to enjoy the unique atmosphere of Freedom, bottle some of it, take it away, tell others – and come back next year.

Graham Chesters, Chair, Freedom Festival Ltd

Hull the birthplace of a freedom pioneer, standing proud as a shortlisted City of Culture; and this year, we trust you’ll fi nd that the city’s best-known festival has much to offer.

As new Directors, we encourage you to step beyond the confi nes of what you know - to experience a world where babies go disco dancing and the streets come alive with thousands of people joined together in celebration of freedom.

Freedom. It’s a colossal concept that affects us all. Too many people continue to suffer in pursuit of freedom and equality of opportunity. A famous artist once said that creativity takes courage. So we encourage you to be brave, be curious, and delve into a weekend of creativity, which we’re proud to present. Welcome to Freedom.

Liz Pugh, Producer, Walk the Plank - Freedom Festival Directors

FAMILY FUN AT FREEDOM 2013

Queens Gardens will transform before your very eyes. No longer will you hear the moans and groans of bored children. And they will defi nitely be no tears before bedtime. Instead, this trip to town will be stress-free after entering the transformed space of never-ending fun, engagement and good old silliness.

The biggest surprise will not be the amazing pavement drawings or the costumed walkabouts, it will be the amount of fun you, as a parent, will have whilst you watch your little one enjoy, participate and embrace new activities. Come, join the fun!

Freedom 2013, sponsored by:

As a port city since 1205, Hull has a rich and varied maritime history. As custodians of that heritage, we want to celebrate and share it with those people who live and work in this great city, as well as conserve it for future generations.

By supporting Freedom we are celebrating that fantastic heritage, and the wider cultural aspects of the city, and we also want to show our support for Hull and its people as we edge closer to being named City of Culture in 2017.

ZIGGY: An exhibition of photographs by Peter Hardy

ZIGGY features never-seen-before photographs of the Ziggy Stardust Tour, taken by Hull photographer Peter Hardy in London in 1973.The legendary tour promoted Bowie’s seminal concept album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, in which Bowie’s alter ego Ziggy Stardust takes on the role of a messengerfor extra-terrestrial beings.

The exhibition is a tribute to the highly infl uential Hull-born musicians in the Spiders from Mars, guitarist, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, arranger and producer Mick Ronson (1946-1993) and rock bassist, record producer and songwriter Trevor Bolder (1950-2013).

Mick Ronson was a guitarist with a sound like no other. Not bad for a boy from Hull who had, not long before, been a gardener at

the local park.The Guardian

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.Martin Luther King

LEMN SISSAY

SANDWRITERAcclaimed writer, poet and

broadcaster Lemn Sissay MBE, resident poet for the London Olympics and associate artist at the Southbank Centre, will read Martin Luther King’s historicI Have a Dream speech, 50 years on.

Accompanied by Freedom Chorus, the reading will be a moving culmination to Friday night’s opening event, a 600-person torchlight procession from the city’s William Wilberforce monument through the streets of Hull’s old town.

Moving forward, the machine leaves behind a trail of seemingly random lines of sand, which in time becomes a work of art. Sometimes words, sometimes drawings, the Sand Writer explores the transitory nature of the world and leaves it up to us humans to decide when disintegration should begin and atwhat rate.

The Sand Writer isa wandering act – locations and times are not guaranteed; the sand tells the time.
