Exhibits
The Takeaway Festival provides an opportunity for artists and designers from
both the UK and abroad to exhibit their work in a professional sympathetic
environment. The exhibitions offer public support and response for artists
whose practice involves the use of technologies either on the edge of their
own knowledge or outside accepted methodologies currently available to
artists/designers. The Festival puts out a call for participation well in
advance and has also been able to commission work using specific
technologies or approaches.

Lectures
The Takeaway Festival has attracted a wide variety of speakers from the UK
and abroad. These valuable contributions have added breadth and dimension to
each year's events adding a wealth of experience to the mix of thinking
across key aspects of contemporary culture. The Festival has often been at
the forefront of new developments and has facilitated an early engagement
with important issues raised by new technology.

Performances
The Takeaway Festival is a live event and emphasizes the crucial role of the
audience and its participation. The Do-It-Yourself philosophy of Takeaway
encourages visitors to get involved with the lively programme of
contributors on stage. Each audience member has their own unique take on
what's happening and this is a valuable element in the whole experience.

Poetry
The creative use of language is an example of an ancient technology coming
to life once again as new forms, new idioms and syntax are discovered.
Language strikes us again with all its elemental force in live poetry
sessions.
