The Milton Keynes Islamic Arts and Culture (MKIAC) charity has wrapped up another successful edition of its iconic City of Codes and Light Festival. From 2nd to 5th October 2024, the festival once again transformed Milton Keynes into a hub of creativity, innovation, and cultural exchange, attracting thousands of attendees from across the UK.
One year on from the first AI summit hosted at Bletchley Park, this year’s festival joined in celebrating this anniversary, exploring the intersections of artificial intelligence, art, science, and technology, offering a diverse range of immersive learning activities, interactive workshops, and inspiring symposiums. In a celebration of modern innovation and ancient wisdom, the festival brought together artists, scientists, educators, and performers, fostering collaboration across multiple disciplines. 18,000 people attended the finale event on Saturday 5th October to enjoy stunning light projections on Central MK Library, follow the engaging parade of community lanterns and drummers, and to wonder at the epic Theatre in the Sky by the Celestial drones over Campbell Park.
MKIAC delivers a diverse range of art projects to promote shared learning, community cohesion and cultural understanding.
