The Shape of Thoughts

  • Free
  • Art

The Shape of Thoughts is a free, interactive exhibition exploring what we carry inside – thoughts, emotions and experiences we rarely share.

Blending art, psychology and data visualisation, the exhibition creates a space for reflection, curiosity and connection. Through a series of installations, you're invited to contribute a thought, image or colour, becoming part of a live visual environment shaped by everyone who takes part.

Designed and directed by Jess Leondiou, whose work has been stocked by MONA and QAGOMA.
Jess will be there each evening to welcome you, answer questions and guide your experience.
