From artwork exploring how real-life movement in immersive worlds resonates with the environment, to found sounds and stories expanding our intimate and public spheres, we reveal how art can disrupt and alter perceptions, and how it can carve out new performative spaces.

Join us for lively conversation, followed by networking, drinks and canapés. Take the opportunity to experience Sarah Neville’s VR work Spheres, a Dance for Virtual Reality first-hand at the event.
