Turning FACT Inside Out

13 June - 15 September



This summer at FACT, a selection of provocative

international artists tackle some of the most

pressing, controversial and literally ground-breaking

political issues of today.


As FACT celebrates the first decade of its building

as one of the UK's primary centres for new media art,

it has commissioned an artists' take over, featuring

bold, new or never before seen in the UK works

from emerging and established artists, including

HeHe, Nina Edge, Katarzyna Krakowiak,

Steve Lambert, Manifest.AR, and Uncoded Collective.
