Free Word (London)
Free Word is an international centre for literature, literacy
and free expression that celebrates and explores the power of
words to change lives. Through our artistic programmes and
public events we promote and protect the written and spoken
word and provide a space for collaboration, exploration and
dissent. We have three main areas of activity:
• Our building is a vital meeting place and hub for literature,
literacy and free expression organizations. We have six
Resident organizations and over 30 Associates;
• With our Residents, Associates and other partners we
present a year-round programme of public events – debates,
films, conferences and exhibitions – exploring politics,
culture and ideas.
• Working with local, national and international partners we
have developed three major programmes of work around
translation – The Power of Translation; the environment
– Living Dangerously: Stories of Climate Change; and
Democracy – Speaking Freely.
