Twist & Shine
Twist and Shine is a beautiful landscape of interactive light sculptures. They are made out of interconnected prisms that can be twisted into thousands of different shapes. What will you make?!
Situated in an area of the city with some of the newest builds and the oldest bricks of Brum, Twist and Shine playfully invites you together to creatively get building!
The sculpture invites you to explore and interact from all angles, encouraging creative expression, and intergenerational play.
⏺︎ SPOTLIGHT
A series of building blocks to twist into endless possibilities - what will you build?

WHAT TO EXPECT
Twist and Shine was developed with access in mind; the sculptures are friendly and lightweight, and can be twisted from all different angles and heights. Big twists always require more than one person, inviting collaboration. Colours and light change slowly and move in one direction. If there are lots of visitors wanting to interact, our festival team may assist by forming a queue. Festival Volunteers will also be on hand if you need help twisting!
