On Wednesday 24th April, the Huddersfield Literature Festival will be hosting an immersive, multi-layered experience of literature formed from three specially commissioned texts. Speculative stories will be projected onto screens for audiences to read whilst they’re enveloped by original sound and narration. 

It features the work of projectionist Zaron, writers Laura Bui, Selma Dabbagh and James Giddings, and musicians Commodo, DSL Official, Utah?, Rider Shafique and Georgia Williams. It is curated by Somerset Maugham Award-winning writer Akeem Balogun.
