Solid, Space and Sound 10 Jun 2023

Enjoy a creative and multi-sensory discovery tour of The Ark building devised and led by artist Emilie Conway especially for children with visual impairment.

You can look forward to exploring our building through a range of senses. We will listen to the sounds of The Ark. What do our voices sound like in the different rooms here, and what sounds can we make with the different surfaces?

We’ll also explore the solid aspects of the spaces through tactile activities and touch. How do the spaces feel? Which spaces are big, which are little? How do spaces change how we move, how we hear, how we feel in that space?

Mixing music, sound, movement, touch, narration and art-making, children with visual impairment are warmly invited with their families to gently explore this unique building which is for all children to enjoy.
