ABOUT

ABOUT

Taking you from the bohemian streets of Shoreditch to Kings Cross’ finest contemporary cultural institutions, the London International Arts Festival (LIAF) is a pan-London celebration of the capital’s most exciting music and culture.

Exploring and optimising the trend of digital medium LIAF went completely digital for its 2020-21 edition. The LIAF 2020-21 DIGITAL CAMP featured an eclectic line-up of performing artists and industry professionals in a series of virtual events such as talk sessions, speaker sessions, live performances and workshops. From 2022 onwards we are presenting the festival in a hybrid mode. 

We are presenting the festival live in East London and also online to cater to the worldwide audiences we have developed and for the audiences in England who arent able to attend the festival live.
