One amazing island, 1000 stories from around the corner to across the globe.

Love new experiences, exploring rugged landscapes, breath-taking coastlines and contemporary art in unexpected places? Join b-side on an unforgettable journey exploring stories of migration – walks, talks, incredible artworks and experiences created by artists who bring a fresh outlook to how we see ourselves and each other.

Using the Isle of Portland as a microcosm ‘Common Lands’ will explore our relationship to and with land – both here and elsewhere. Common Lands will explore the physical and environmental context: climate change, biodiversity and erosion together with the human context: migration, displacement, land ownership, and rights through community-led research, workshops, seminars and discussion events, artist bursaries, residencies and commissions.
