Arnolfini Exhibits & Sea Shanty Festival🖼️🏛️📸 🌊 ⚓

Join me for a cultural Sunday afternoon where we will go and check out the 2 current Exhibits at the Arnolfini before heading to the Sea Shanty Festival at Underfall Yard.

The two exhibits we will see at the Arnolfini are:

Sahara Longe: The Other Side of the Mountain

The Other Side of the Mountain presents a new body of work exploring semi-abstract interior worlds, where her paintings capture fleeting moments and memories alongside the multitude of stories that exist within personal experience.

Dana Awartani: Standing by the ruins

Standing by the ruins brings together existing works with a major new commission in a moving exploration of love and loss, destruction and the passage of time. Awartani – a Palestinian-Saudi artist – addresses the physical loss of cultural heritage through the lens of abandoned, destroyed and vanishing places.

We will allow around an hour to see these exhibits and then walk across the harbour to Underfall yard Where the annual sea shanty festival is taking place celebrating Bristol's maritime heritage with tales of the sea in song.

As well as the sea shanty we can also visit the Underfall market contained within a working boat yard and featuring featuring various arts, crafts and food traders to check out.

This social combines contemporary thought provoking art exhibits with a atmospheric and communal sea shanty with a pleasant harbour side stroll connecting the two.
