An afternoon of conversation, writing, and sharing around words and the Bloomsbury Festival theme of Human.kind.

How do words reflect and support who we are, and how can they help to shape us as we change and grow? Every year, 26 host a “Wordstock” festival for anyone, from any field, who loves words and writing. Part inspiration, part celebration, it is a day dedicated to broadening horizons and bringing together like-minded language-lovers.

For our second year as a part of the Bloomsbury Festival we are joined again by host Neil Baker to explore what makes us who we are – with sessions on neurodiversity and difference, the world around us, and the connections that keep us whole, as well as a collaboration with Jacob Sam-La Rose and his Barbican Young Poets.

Expect listening, writing, sharing, and plenty of tea (and be sure to bring a notepad).
