IBT10 took place across the streets and art spaces of Bristol in a breakneck programme of live, digital, sound, sculptural, architectural, dance, theatre and guerrilla works. The 5-day festival showcased work by 115 artists from all over the world, including 28 works by artists from Bristol and the South West.
