A NEW art installation is being launched at Haworth’s Bronte Parsonage Museum.
Another World, by award-winning design practice NEON, has been inspired by the childhood fantasy worlds of the young Brontes and the rugged landscape which helped shape some of the siblings’ classic works.
The installation – which opens on Saturday, September 18, and runs until October 3 – forms part of Summer Unlocked, a programme of free cultural and sporting events taking place across the Bradford district.
Commissioned to “bring together culture and play”, the work – nine metres in length, four metres tall and nine metres wide – will resemble a giant washing line, with fabric fluttering from it. Audiences will be able to interact with the piece.
Throughout the opening weekend, there will be a range of free activities.
Attractions will include the international street performance agency Fool’s Paradise, giant sloths and legendary creatures from Japanese mythology will wander on the Saturday, and oversized fish on stilts and a selfie-obsessed mermaid will be among those entertaining on the Sunday.
