What does the world look like from inside a washing machine drum? What is a little bird perched on a wire looking at? And what about a deep-sea fish on the ocean floor?

What a Paradox! (Ages 6-10)
Paper walls, marble rugs and brass cobwebs: what a paradox!

Join our Pirelli HangarBicocca arts tutors and have fun dreaming up new and unexpected paradoxical combinations!
