Being Human Festival: Ohhhh the Humanities!
November 7 – 16 online
Free 10-day festival that seeks to celebrate and engage the public with the humanities. Being Human believes that literature, history, classics, archaeology, art history, philosophy, languages, cultural studies, music, theatre, and theology help us understand what it means to be human and should belong to everyone. While most of the festival events take place in the UK, there are always several virtual and hybrid events on its program.
