The event wove together installation art, live music, participatory making and performance to create a richly sensorial experience for all ages. Guests were greeted by a large-scale “insect city” constructed from loose parts and found materials, alongside sensory art-making stations, nature-based science provocations, and performances by Stuart Christie’s Bah-Hah Circus School.
At the heart of the event - Hosted by “Dragonfly” (dan eleni) and Amelie Ecology - was a live performance of Amelie’s debut songs, fusing music, movement and ecological storytelling.
The immersive world was included collaborative installation curated by dan eleni: a kaleidoscopic garden of hand-crafted flowers made by community members using foraged and recycled materials. Through a series of pre-event drop-in making spaces, visitors were invited to contribute to the living installation—an evolving participatory artwork that served as a portal into the MAGNIFY world.
MAGNIFY embodied a joyful, collective reimagining of multispecies worlds and offered a playful entry point into larger conversations about biodiversity, co-existence, and kinship across species lines.
