Help create ‘Breathing Room’ - an immersive art installation in the Royal Docks
Join us for this exciting volunteering experience helping to create ‘Breathing Room’, an immersive art installation in the Royal Docks as part of At the Docks.
The walk-in, kinetic installation combines organic and machine elements for a unique sensory experience. Entering the tunnel-like installation you'll be enveloped by 28,000 gently ‘breathing’ cones.
Volunteers are needed 21-22 June for a minimum of four hours or more to assist the artist, Anna Berry, and her team to carefully hand-thread the cones onto the structure. This will take place on-site at the Royal Victoria Dock edge outside City Hall (Kamal Chunchie Way, E16 1ZE).
If you are 18 years old or over you can volunteer on your own, with friends, family or even work colleagues. To volunteer 4 hours or more for this unique experience simply email your availability to siobhan@siobhanandrews.com
