Final call for proposals to the Alpaca Festival of Algorithmic Patterns in the Creative Arts!
Alpaca is a festival on Algorithmic Patterns in the Creative Arts comprised of live performances, workshops and conference talks. We aim to bring people together who value deep, human curiosity into patterns. We hope this call excites you whether you are exploring patterns in heritage crafts or contemporary algorithmic art (but not AI).

Charles Bradlaugh, the atheist, social reformer and #Northampton MP, often challenged the accepted social, political, and religious norms of the 19th century. A tour of 'Heretics Corner' in Northampton demonstrates that Bradlaugh was often closer to his opponents than is sometimes portrayed. #nonconformists
