Cloudscapes a pre-recorded piece of sound art experienced via headphones, an intimate installation combining clouds and script, set in an outdoor auditorium — a cloud-gazing area.

United Nations Marble Awareness Roadshows
 Roberts Park, Saltaire - Friday 6 August 11am-3pm. More here.
Victoria Park, Keighley - Saturday 7 August 11am-3pm. More here.
Ever feel you’ve lost your marbles? Find them again with the United Nations Board of Significant Inspiration (UNBOSI). This small department of the UN is researching pockets of inspiration emanating from the ground in the form of odourless, colourless gas.
Join our marbleologists as we locate and transfer this gas into specialist glass memory pebbles (aka marbles). We’ll then supercharge our inspirational spheres by passing them through an air-powered NORMA machine. Once that’s done, we’ll send the newly-genius marbles to world leaders (who’ve all lost theirs).
The Persian Paddleboarder
 Apperley Bridge Marina (Leeds Liverpool Canal) Saturday 7 August 11am to 3pm. More info here.

A unique, floating performance by Bobak Champion takes place the Leeds Liverpool Canal.
