Celebrate new work by Lilli Tranborg, Arbie Edward and Children Heard and Seen, with live music from Emma Hunter!

Bringing together work by Lilli Tranborg, Arbie Edward, and young participants from the local charity Children Heard and Seen, the exhibition draws on natural materials and ancient techniques such as cordage and weaving. The resulting works weave together art, science and nature, reflecting on how the act of ‘making’ can foster connection and understanding.

At the preview party, you’ll have the opportunity to spend time in the gallery discovering the exhibition and the collaborative work created through this year-long project. Drinks and refreshments will be available throughout the evening from our Café, in partnership with Lavazza, alongside live music from Emma Hunter.
