Arnolfini Late: At the edge of the everyday world at Arnolfini
See event details

A event held at Arnolfini on Thursday 6th February. The event starts at 18:30.


A new format for Arnolfini, an after-hours event taking place across our spaces, fusing live performance and sound with creative and mindful activities to try, all interwoven with the extraordinary photographs of Rinko Kawauchi.

Explore and enjoy at your own pace.

Contributors include:

The Shui Mo (수묵; 墨 絵; 水墨) Ensemble is dedicated to performing new musical compositions on East Asian traditional instruments. For this Arnolfini Late they will present three new short solo works, composed in response to Rinko Kawauchi’s exhibition. These will take place in our gallery spaces, at intervals throughout the evening.

Dark, Sloshing is an audio work by Sonia Levy and Lucy A. Sames created in response to the heavily industrialised and neglected riparian worlds of Silverthorne Lane in East Bristol.
The composition weaves field recordings and voice, moving above and below water as it follows canals, bridges, electric grids, train lines, and highways. It reveals muted ecologies that interrogate the altered dynamics of earthly and urban processes, reflecting the city's imperial, infrastructural, and ecological entanglements. Commissioned by Gingko Projects, Dark, Sloshing forms part of a larger project led by artists Rachael Champion and Jonathan Trayte.

In our Reading room we have invited Annie from ATTIC Teas to guide 3 wonderful tea experiences that will nourish the body, soothe the mind and excite the spirit. Tea has long held a sacred place in the heart of Eastern culture. ATTIC’s Breathe and Brew sessions use grounding breath to connect to the powerful centering effects of the tea's nutrients. You will then have an opportunity to sit in quiet contemplation and enjoy a sense of stillness so dearly missing for many of us in our daily lives. The space asks for nothing from you, just to 'be' in whatever way you feel comfortable. No precious experience necessary. Sessions will start at 6.45 and 7.30 and 8.15. (for up to 15 participants at a time).

In our Community Workshop space, come and relax and focus on your own creativity with our partners creativeShift running a collage and drawing workshop, using At the edge of the everyday world for inspiration. creativeShift cic is one of the lead organisations in Bristol delivering arts on referral in collaboration with Health, Social Prescribing, Community and Cultural partners including Arnolfini. Just drop in between 6.30-8.30.
