TERMINAL 1 – MANIFESTO
None of us can take credit for where we were born. None of us have the moral right to deprive our fellow humans of resources and opportunities just because they happened to start life somewhere else. And that’s it.
To hold this feeling in our hearts – whenever we talk about migration it should be from a position of kindness, humility and good grace.
Terminal 1 honours Glastonbury’s travelling history and community spirit and creates space for a modern-day travelling community – migrants.

This innovative addition of Terminal 1 exemplifies the festival’s ongoing commitment to diversity and inclusion, offering attendees an immersive and thought-provoking experience. However, the Welcoming chairs at Terminal 1, adorned with unwelcoming spikes, are best left unoccupied.

What sets Terminal 1 apart is that you must answer a question from the UK government’s citizenship test to gain entry. Good luck, everyone, and I hope you pass!

This bold initiative aims to celebrate migration and promote a deeper understanding of the challenges and experiences migrants face. Once at the Terminal, the most intriguing and obvious aspect is that it has the hallmarks of a Banksy curation. The elusive artist is known for his thought-provoking and often controversial artworks, and Terminal 1 highlights the UK’s Rwanda Policy.

In addition to the visual arts, Terminal 1 has an electrifying musical lineup in partnership with two iconic events that hold significant cultural importance in the UK’s African-Caribbean community: Notting Hill Carnival in west London and St Pauls Carnival in Bristol.

Those attending Terminal 1 can engage with thought-provoking artists such as Love Watts, Yoshi Sodeoka, and Turner Prize winner Mark Wallinger, who was awarded the 2007 Turner Prize for State Britain, a replica of Brian Haw’s protest peace camp outside the Houses of Parliament against policies towards Iraq.
