SOUND/IMAGE Festival

About

SOUND/IMAGE festival is an annual event at the University of Greenwich exploring sound / image practice across and between music, film, sound arts, performance and digital arts.

Since the first edition in 2015, SOUND/IMAGE festival has platformed thousands of artists, scholars, and listeners from across the globe via talks, screenings, loudspeakers orchestra concerts, performances, and installations across our world class labs facilities (SHIFT) in our Immersive Digital Theatre in Woolwich and our Stockwell Street building in Greenwich.

The multi-day event curates a rich programme of immersive sound, video, and 360 degree film, allowing diverse voices and perspectives to converge and think, discuss, and enjoy the cutting edge of audiovisual theory and practice.
