Writing on the Wall (WoW) based in Toxteth, launched their ‘Future Imperfect’ festival (WoWFEST 2022) at the Bluecoat in Liverpool city centre.
The festival theme 'Future Imperfect' aims to explore and respond to what's going on locally, and around the world using writing as a platform to research, debate and seek solutions to today's and tomorrow's problems. WoWFEST, in its 22nd year, has its first live performances since 2019 due to the covid pandemic when all activities went online.
The launch featured guest speaker Gary Younge, award-winning author, broadcaster, professor of sociology at the University of Manchester and formerly a columnist at The Guardian. Gary’s speech discussed his life and the pandemic, and he made a case for global society’s capability to adapt, meet challenges on what’s possible, necessary and desirable for us to lead better lives.
