MANIPULATE Festival #14 / RESTLESS WORLDS Teaser

Tucked away in the windows of arts centres, shops and cafés, something curious is stirring. All across the city, in a moment of wider social and cultural upheaval, hidden worlds are shifting and revealing their secrets.

In a unique project for the COVID-19 era, MANIPULATE Festival has commissioned eight leading Scottish artists to create moving sculptural installation works incorporating automata, miniature figures, or animated screens, alongside a compelling short story or soundscape (available in audio or BSL), which can be downloaded direct to your device.

Available to view in EDINBURGH, ABERDEEN and GLASGOW in APRIL and MAY 2021.
