The b-side Festival has begun on the Isle of Portland, bringing artists, residents and visitors together for a unique celebration of community heritage and contemporary creativity. This year's theme, That Other Place, draws inspiration from the historic Portland Fair, using archived memories, photographs and local stories as the foundation for new artistic works across the island. Rather than recreating the fair itself, the festival explores how communities remember shared traditions and how cultural events can evolve over time. Running until Sunday, b-side offers a fascinating blend of history, public art and community engagement, connecting Portland’s past with a new generation of audiences.
