What's going on in Centenary Square, outside Bradford's City Hall?
Lots of Bradford 2025 volunteers, with a circle made of rope...
Oh gosh! Foam exploding from tubes...
Spreading out to fill the circle...
Children began to play in the edges, coming out covered in bubbles and colour...
The Island of Foam got bigger and bigger...
When the wind blew, the bubbles went everywhere.
And then... they lifted up the barrier and everyone rushed in! It was a lot of fun!
It was a creative art concept by Stephanie Luening, part of the Bradford City of Culture 2025. The foam is 94% water, 5% food colouring and 1% soap, pretty harmless unless it went right in your eye (and there were cleaning stations and first aid staff on hand).
I wasn't brave enough to get close and get covered in colour, as it was strongly staining. I stood on a wall but then it was hard to get pictures of the whole thing. I needed to be higher; I needed a drone! There were a few flying overhead.
For better pictures (taken by a press photographer from a large stepladder!) see HERE.
Now that's definitely a community playground! What fun! I imagine those who got into it didn't wear their best duds. So glad you were there and captured the extreme foam experience.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of such a thing.
