SICK! Festival 2014

SICK! Festival 2014 took place between 03/03/14 to 26/03/14, in Brighton.

In 2014 we presented our first full-scale festival exploring the medical, mental and social challenges of life and death and how we survive them (or don’t).

It was a celebration of survival, of individual resilience, medical knowledge and the social bonds that keep us going.

In 2014 the festival explored a range of issues including adolescence, mental illness, ageing and death.
