Welcome

Free Word is an arts organisation focused on the power and politics of words. We are also a home for organisations interested in who gets to speak and be heard in society.

In our distinctive building in London’s Clerkenwell, we host dynamic cultural events that address urgent contemporary issues.

We place an emphasis on fresh perspectives from voices that are often underrepresented, and bring together a rich variety of exciting writers, artists and activists to spark critical conversations about society, culture and politics.
