Our hope is that you will not just play alongside us but also suggest your own games, events or other ideas for the festival. If you don’t like any of our suggestions, don’t just sit there wishing we had come up with better ones, invent your own and make them happen yourself. If you send your ideas, games, events etc. to us at the email address below, we will disseminate them via our mailing list. We will also compile an album of photos, reports, texts & images from the festival for distribution to all the participants – please send us any material which you would like to be included.
In the words of Lautréamont, “Poetry must be made by all.” The London International Festival of Surrealism is not designed for passive consumption. This is a DIY festival: it is up to you to make it happen.
