Spring Forward took us to Sofia where we presented all the Twenty18 artists and Goblin Party from Korea with ‘A silver knife’ as part of our exchange programme in 5 venues. Apart from running Springback Academy and organising Critical Issues panel debate we also launched Springback Magazine. We also filmed 21 interviews for the Meet the Makers series and live streamed the action packed festival online to reach our fans around the world.
