If you weren’t human, how would you see the world? 

In this Lunchtime Talk, Undershed curator Amy Rose will offer a sneak peek into the extraordinary video games and VR that make up Undershed’s latest exhibition, SENTIENTS.  

From raging wildfire to the vision of an owl, from a river to multiple galaxies, SENTIENTS is about being something else. Amy will talk through her curatorial journey with this project, including how a new process of working with young curators from across Bristol influenced the final selection of works and how these are presented to audiences. 

SENTIENTS includes work by Marshmallow Laser Feast, Alan Kwan, Alice Bucknell, David O’Reilly and Demelza Dooij.
