Open Senses

Open Senses is a weekend festival of art exhibitions, live events and performances, sensory journeys and walks, open studios and labs, and a ground-breaking symposium. It has taken a small team of volunteers over two years to plan this festival and we’re incredibly proud of the programme. We chose London as the city to launch Open Senses because it is a world-leading centre of excellence in sensory practice. We are inviting all Londoners, as well as each and every tourist and visitor, to freely come and open your senses; to awaken your nose, tastebuds, and skin to the world; to notice and savour the natural, physical environment around you. Open Senses will showcase sensory practice as a powerful tool to evoke true human emotion and create warm, lasting memories. This is a festival for every woman, man and child to hear, see, feel, taste and experience.
