Women of the World festival programme

  • Heather Knight

WOW Women of the World festival at Southbank Centre in London celebrates the power and potential of girls and women and confronts the causes of inequality. The incredible lineup on includes conversations with Angela Davis, Naomi Klein, and talks by Annie Lennox, Gina Miller, Jo Brand, The Slumflower, Women's Equality Party, Sandi Toksvig, Munroe Bergdorf, Lily Allen and many more. I was hired by the WOW Foundation to art direct and design the 32-page festival programme, for a print run of 6000 copies. WOW has held 65 festivals in 5 continents over 30 locations in over 15 countries from Baltimore to Brazil, Cardiff to Karachi, and further across the UK, Australia and the USA, reaching over 2 million girls and women, and men and boys too. It is the biggest, most comprehensive and most significant festival dedicated to presenting work by women and promoting equality for women and girls.
