Share the story of hope.

The Festival of Hope (FoH) is an exploration of the resolution of the human spirit and our unique ways of responding to global pandemic, isolation and loss.

In this partly online, partly in-person exhibition of visual art, literature, poetry, performance, music and more, local artists will share their unique perspectives on the nature of hope and what it means for us all right now.

How it works

One festival. Two ways to experience it.

Online Exhibition

View visual and literary works uncovering and exploring hope - both its presence and absence in the wake of a global pandemic and a recovering society. All contributions are kindly loaned to the digital exhibition and can be accessed throughout the 2021 Coventry City of Culture year of events.
