Featuring participating artists Raheel Khan, David Blandy, and Olivia Glasser, who’ll be sharing their thoughts and showcasing their work live on stage.
Enjoy a sound installation inspired by the Wizard of Oz, an insight into what children really think when the adults are away, and an interactive piece that reimagines Manchester 8,000 years into the future. Plus, Testament will be performing a new spoken-word piece, especially composed for Art Assembly. It’s the perfect way to kick off this celebration of art, inspiration, and creativity for all.
