BIG LIFTA
A new work commissioned by Site Gallery,

Working collaboratively with young new arrivals to the city, to make a kite and get it airborne in a place where Sheffield meets the Peak District.

The team will be working to some basic parameters:

Only use four colours

The kite will be 1m x 1m wide

The kite must be flown accompanied by a picnic

The team will consider the kite’s shape, form and fly-ability.

Once complete, the team will head to the Peak District to enjoy the kite in its natural environment (the sky) whilst sharing a meal.
