Hay Festival
Hay is a festival about literature and art. And although both can be digital and online, I know Hay as a place to celebrate traditional media. However, this year Hay felt more like an experience that was geared towards online media. For me, the majority of talks I went to were sponsored by Tiktok, and instead of discussing the points i thought they would bring up to have a fair discussion, it was more like an advert; stale and rehearsed. I created this as I feel it represents what the Hay festival is now trying to do. They as an event are focusing on garnering more attention for next year, more people and more support, rather than focusing on what should be happening then; celebrating authors, books and local businesses. - Nia
