The latest completed city

Small enough to meet.
Alive enough to move.

The Newcastle photographs hold the festival as it was: intimate, social and unforced. The edit deliberately moves between performance, people, hospitality and food rather than presenting eighteen versions of the same pose.

The Dodo route

Not a straight line.
A growing movement.

Each city keeps its own chapter. The route connects them without erasing what came before.
