As Small As Eyes: Artist-led Tour
Saturday 2 March
2 - 3pm
Walk-ins welcome but bookings prioritised
Join artists Mariette Moor, Krystle Patel & Orsola Zane for a tour of As Small As Eyes, who will guide visitors through the world of octopuses. Find out more about how they came to love the cephalopod, their collaborative process and why being more like our eight-legged friend is, in a time of polycrises, a serious proposition.
