Makers of Imaginary Worlds

We create installations and performances for families. Our designs are playful, sensory and interactive. We combine sensing technology with traditional crafts.

Look carefully at the tray full of beads. Every one of those represent one of the 18k babies and young children who have benefited from one or more @ncitycare_SSBC’s services. Just one of the interactive and accessible displays showing the programme’s impact by @imaginarymakers.
