Twenty years of festival lineups that celebrate the breadth of the arts. Thousands of artists have moved us with theatre, with literature, with songs, with laughter, with dance. Together, we’ve experienced moments that simply couldn’t have happened anywhere else.
To celebrate it all, we’d like to invite you to join us in a conversation about the most important artists, the most important books, the most important theatre shows. Part mission statement, part cultural archive, part collective memory. A cultural and social survey and conversation with you, our audience, to establish in your eyes and our eyes what the most important aspects of modern life and culture have been.
We started with our celebration with…
The Most Important Young Voice or Voices
For two decades, Latitude has championed bold and fearless voices. As we mark 20 years of music, arts, and ideas at Henham Park, our community voted to honour the young voices who have shaped our generation, and voted for Malala Yousafzai.
Our next category is…
The Most Important Poet
For twenty years, Latitude has been a home for words that move, challenge and connect us. Through poetry, stories are shared, identities explored, and truths spoken that draw us closer together. As we celebrate two decades of voices that have shaped our cultural landscape, we honour a poet whose work continues to resonate deeply; Inua Ellams.
