Festival of Dangerous Ideas is a curated festival
What does this mean?
The Festival’s speakers, artists and topics are selected carefully by the curatorial team and its advisors. They are guided by our curatorial framework:
- The Festival exists to challenge conventional understanding and belief.
- The Festival does not preach. Rarely does it censor.
- The Festival champions what is possible (but not crazy).
- The Festival is willing to offend (but not vilify).
- The Festival will shock; but not sensationalise.
- The Festival prefers to entertain and inspire.
- The Festival’s platforms are open to those who have earned the right to speak by virtue of their expertise, courage, sincerity and candour. They represent diverse perspectives communicated in diverse forms.
