Free Range City is a one-day retrospective festival happening from 2-8pm on Saturday 19th March as part of the International Festival of Projections. The Rutherford Cloisters (Rutherford College) at the University of Kent are reimagined as a creative utopia populated by musicians, poets, filmmakers and dancers in a concentrated burst of overlapping and simultaneous performances, screenings and installations featuring artists that have performed at Free Range since it began in 2012.

Visit the disco, the hotel or the abattoir and see internationally established improvising pioneers such as Evan Parker and AMM alongside an array of musicians, poets, filmmakers, dancers, a mathematician and an 80’s rockstar. Wandering minstrels and street performers roam Free Range City dropping into the cinema or the disco for impromptu collaborative performances and occasionally gathering in the plaza for spontaneous improvised interludes.
