How to be Held: Songs of Self-Soothing is an immersive, multi-sensory sound installation within a living landscape of over 300 plants, atmospheric light and surround-sound. Settle on cushions and beanbags, feel as the world fades from day to night and back again, and be held by a sound world that breathes with you. Choral harmonies, synth textures, natural soundscapes, and looped melodies flow through a 360-degree sonic environment. Each track responds to a real self-soothing hook, lyric or riff offered anonymously by the public, and re-imagined by artists across musical styles. Come and go as you like, or stay for the full three-hour cycle, which repeats like a lullaby or a phrase we hum to get ourselves through tough times. Date: Thurs 25 Sept Times: 4pm to 7pm Tickets: This installation is free to attend (no booking required) This is a drop-in event This event takes place in person in our Lower Hall.
