Art

Alongside our main programme, a series of contemporary art events are happening across the city. At MediaCityUK, Quays Culture present NVA’s Speed of Light – an extraordinary public art performance that is set to bring Salford’s waterfront to life from 8pm on 21, 22 and 23 March. The night-time work uses light, intentional movement and sound to change the way we see and feel about a chosen environment. Also happening at Piccadilly Place is Weave Waves, presented by the Crafts Council – a digital commission which brings together sound artist Scanner and textile designer Ismini Samanidou for an exploration of sound, geography and mapping.
