Covid-19 has not dimmed the creativity of artists, nor the enthusiasm of all the people who make Edinburgh’s festivals. Throughout August we have celebrated the spark that still burns bright with a series of world-class artistic interventions. Many of these are still available to enjoy here and on our YouTube channel for a limited time.
