In the new year we will also be inviting submissions for other disciplines including moving image, spoken word and music. To receive updates on these, please register your interest below. Once registered, you’ll receive all the latest updates on the open call, along with details of opportunities to visit the venue and to meet the Hidden Door team.
The festival programme will be based around four key themes:
Jill Martin Boualaxai, Creative Lead, explains more “Our 2025 festival program, titled ‘The Building as a Myth,’ invites artists to collaboratively develop ambitious multidisciplinary projects.
“Guided by the overarching concepts of Transformation and Reclamation, Time and Memory, Rituals and New Narratives, and Feminisation and Reimagining the Space, the programme encourages exploration of how industrial spaces can be reclaimed by nature, layered with temporal narratives, and reimagined as inclusive, symbolic environments.
“Our open call will invite submissions for work that resonates with these themes. With access to The Paper Factory for the whole of 2025, we have a unique opportunity to collaborate, experiment, and fully engage with the building’s unique history and character, promising an immersive multi-arts experience for our audience.”
