The Nighttime Manifesto is a collective reflection of the values that drive global nighttime communities, calling for a large-scale acknowledgement and improvement for the night.

‍

As society adapts to 'post-COVID' recovery and faces challenges such as extreme weather events, climate change, war, increasing living costs, the ongoing threat of gentrification, funding cuts to the arts, and other impacts on social care, this manifesto acknowledges the importance of shared social spaces and safety at night.

‍

With contributions from over 120 creatives in 55 cities worldwide, it has been created as a collaborative reaction from nighttime communities who have reflected on the core unifying values of nightlife and developed a shared vision for the future.

The manifesto is a living, breathing open document that aims to ignite cross-sector dialogue and celebrate those who are committed to creating a safer, more resilient and sustainable future for nightlife.

‍

Participants included artists, promoters, ravers, venue operators, label owners, festival organisers, activists, academics, journalists, and city officials, who were all asked "What can be done to create a better future for nightlife?"

‍

The Manifesto is currently available in Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic and Turkish: here
