What Happens If

What happens when you follow a question and see where it takes you? 

Over the summer, three artist and researcher pairs have been exploring questions together. Now they're bringing their experiments into the Festival of Dissent on 5 September, inviting you to step inside and see what happens. 

UNARCHITECTS 

What kind of building do we have inside us? 

Benjamin Dalton and Nicola Dale invite you to explore this question. Together, they'll invent a kind of architecture without blueprint or design brief. They'll build blindfolded, while you give them instructions. What will take shape?

What Happened to the Magic? 

What do fish drink? How do I know I’m not dreaming? What’s for tea?

Imogen Ashby and Sally Keith asked children what they really wanted to know. Put on some headphones and see what happens when they finally get your full attention.
