NOISY HOUR with Paul Walker
5 - 6pm, Thursday 6 February

We are excited to debut our new program NOISY HOUR with a facilitated movement piece by Paul Walker. In response to the sounds and imagery of I am not me, the horse is not mine by William Kentridge, audience members are encouraged to participate by joining Paul in using their bodies to experience the exhibition through movement and gesture.

NOISY HOUR is part of our accessibility program, with the aim of encouraging audiences to experience the exhibitions in unexpected ways, to move, make sounds and express themselves freely in the gallery during the hour.

Bookings: Free, bookings preferred. Book now.
Accessibility: The Gallery is wheelchair accessible. If you would like to discuss your access requirements please email linsey.gosper@lismore.nsw.gov.au or call 02 6627 4606.
