Art & Culture
Be part of the team that helps create ‘Breathing Room’ - an amazing immersive art installation by Anna Berry.
We need a team of volunteers to come and work with us to bring this exciting piece of work to your city – taking place at Royal Docks, Newham, East London in June 2023.
Made from approximately 28,000 gently ‘breathing’ cones, Breathing Room is a walk-in kinetic installation that perfectly combines organic and machine elements creating a unique sensory experience.
Each cone is carefully hand threaded onto the structure on site. We bring our team of 5 crew on tour with us, plus the artist Anna Berry herself, and we need 6 extra people per day, to help us install all of the cones.
Our previous volunteers have said what a great experience it is to work with this team of professional artists, and how much pride they have taken from being part of installing this beautiful artwork in their town!
