2025 Festival Dates: 5 & 6 July

Art in Manufacturing: Fabula un Facto, Sam Williams + The Cardboard Box Company

Sam Williams imagines a world where physical limitations and perceived wisdom operate in flux. Her work draws from her childhood growing up in a theme park, Drayton Manor, where her family (and later she) worked. Using play structures, bold graphics and colourful patterns she dreams up environments that evoke joy and curiosity for audiences old and young.

 

Fabula un Facto is a playful installation, inviting audiences to experience the wonder of the factory floor. An immersive representation of the infinite nature of human innovation, the installation loosely follows the form of a cardboard box in net form and is a joyful reminder that play is in the making.
