Architects of Air

I have long enjoyed the inflatable installations by AoA, the Nottingham based arts organisation that has achieved global success and notoriety. Part inverted bouncy castle, part light labyrinth installation, their pieces bring joy and wonder to many. 

Here are some images from the last installation of theirs that I visited in March 2024, Luminaries, exhibited at the Lakeside Arts Centre. 

Their ability to create an immersive experience in this way is unparalleled and its an excellent example of how you can commercialize arts practise.

I know Alan the founder through mutual friends and enjoy our occasional chats at the Pakistan Centre on Woodborough Road when we both end up there for a curry lunch.

I know that the company is particularly interested in expanding into areas of education, specifically SEND, and that's an overlap with my professional background. It's interesting to reflect on opportunities like that now with the context of my degree.
