What's happening in the UK 2025
Brilliant Bamboo, our collaborators in Stoke-on-Trent, have been busy with a series of interlinked projects including:
- Bamboo masterclasses for artist-makers
- Brilliant Botanicals: bamboo themed murals in public spaces
- Big Bamboo Build in collaboration with Atelier One
- Brilliant Bamboo Brownfield Parklet
Sir Harold Hillier Gardens in Romsey, Hampshire, have a fabulous bamboo collection which they have generously allowed us to harvest for Nofit State's BAMBOO circus show and artist commissions in 2024
Right To Play by outdoor arts company Pif-Paf, starts from Article 31 of the UN Convention on the rights of the child and aims to inspire us to overcome the barriers to play ourselves and create worlds through play with our families and communities. Co-director Pete Gunson has been a regular Imagine Bamboo collaborator and bamboo is the main material to inspire people of all ages to start building structures and spaces through play.
