Facilitated by artist Sovay Berriman, three Flamm artists are paired with three Counterpoints artists, each pair exchanges on their socially engaged work, ideas and interests through a series of conversations in the run up to Flamm 2026 (28th Feb - 1st Mar).

Counterpoints and Flamm have been working together since the first edition of the Festival, when the organisations co-commissioned projects as part of Flamm and Counterpoints’ Platforma Festival in South West in 2023. Platforma is a biennial festival moving around the UK, working and networking with local partners on building capacity and showcasing work about displacement, racial and climate justice, and mental health. Flamm and Counterpoints co-commissioned and supported artists working in displacement and climate justice and have continued to work together to champion socially engaged arts practice, support artists through the Festivals’ infrastructures, and sharing learning.
