Discover the vibrant and colourful world of HOSSEI in our new Makers Space!
The Makers Space is our brand-new program for 2024 – an immersive and interactive Makers Space for creatives of all ages.
Led by guest artists and curators, the Makers Space offers a year-round, dedicated space for reflection, creativity and play.
For the second iteration, our guest creative is multi-disciplinary artist HOSSEI, known for creating joyful installations and video works that celebrate healing, mysticism and the maternal figure.
HOSSEI invites you to travel through a fantastical outer space-inspired world. Through a multi-layered approach involving costuming, soft sculpture and sound, U.F.O encourages you to test the boundaries of your imagination and release Uncontrollable Feelings Occasionally!
Curated by Talia Smith with support from Adele Walsh, with concept by Louisa Minutillo.
Suitable for all ages.
