Mash Up is Arnolfini’s regular family friendly activity event.

Come and join a team of young artists who will help families design their own parallel universes in our alien eyes workshops.

Have you seen the artwork R.T./S.R./V.S. by Matti Braun? It can be found on the first floor in Gallery 3. This installation is based on an unmade film by Satyajit Ray called The Alien (some have said it possibly influenced the making of ET).

In response to this and other artworks in the exhibition, we would like to invite you to make multi-media alien eyes with which to view the exhibition. Using the materials provided you can get creative and make portable viewfinder alien eyes to help you see the world differently and create multiple parallel universes through drawing and film. The films of these parallel universes will be screened in the foyer throughout the afternoon.
