Meliora's European premiere
Named after the Latin word meliora - meaning "better things" - this striking and immersive installation represents the pursuit of positive change. Enhanced by dynamic lighting and a custom soundscape, you are invited to move through Meliora's abstract and interwoven curves. The artwork aims to inspire reflection, empathy and collective cooperation for a better future.
Meliora's European premiere will open at Emerge East festival which is returning on Saturday 6th September at Barking Riverside - a free event celebrating creativity, community and nature.
Meliora is an artwork by studio Atelier Sisu, presented by Creative Barking and Dagenham in partnership with Barking Riverside, with the support of Global Streets and funding from Arts Council England.
