  • Part of the Human Rights Watch film festival, The Refugee All Stars previews at The Ritzy, London, from 20th March. It's the Buena Vista Social Club recast as the true story of six refugee musicians, survivors of the Sierra Leonean civil war, forming a band in exile.

  • The New Text festival is not, thankfully, another shrine to SMS but an exploration of where poetry meets art. From 19th March, Bury Art Gallery hosts artist Hester Reeves, who will be transcribing Heidegger, alongside Caroline Bergvall's animated ampersands, and more.
