Forget the monkey bars, swing set and slippery dip and get ready for shadow play, ATMs that talk back, stop-motion films and all manner of new media art designed to take you outside of the everyday and back into the realm of fun. Sonya Gee asks Experimenta’s Artistic Director Liz Hughes about Experimenta Playground and about recovering the lost art of play.

Now, following an afternoon at the Day of Words festival, I can safely say am on my way to becoming a fully-fledged spoken word slut.

Sonya Gee looks at picture books for adults, books that integrate images and text, experimenting with typography, illustration and photography. Sometimes amusing, other times provocative, you’ll be poring over pictures, squinting and reading books upside down to take it all in.
