About PLAY and Swamp Monsters
The exhibition PLAY explores how contemporary artists use playfulness, humour, and the language of games to approach subjects that are often difficult, divisive, or emotionally charged. The exhibition proposes that play is not a retreat from seriousness, but a strategy for engaging with it; a way to disarm, reimagine, and reconnect.
Opening hours: Monday - Friday, 10am - 4pm, Saturday - Sunday, 10am - 3pm
