Human Threads exhibition
Tramway, until 28 August

This summer, the main gallery of our south side arts centre Tramway has been transformed into a gentle fairground. Human Threads invites visitors of all ages on a journey of light, sound, touch and smell, and features a huge silk sail, and a playful tower emitting light, smoke and bubbles. Free entry Tuesdays to Sundays. For more information on the Human Threads exhibition, visit the Tramway website here.
