THE REVIEW
Since 2008 Wunderbar has been bringing artists and audiences together on journeys of intrigue and wonder.
Here’s the story so far.
December 2015
Wunderbar Process
Wunderbar projects
bring audiences and
artists together on
journeys of intrigue
and wonder
Our projects are
conceived and
guided by artists
Our audiences are
always active
participants in the
experience
We like to be
playful and disrupt
the status quo
We are curious
about what happens
once our projects
are let loose on
the world
How we make our
projects is as
important as what
we make
We hope to
inspire, challenge
and nurture new
ways to work,
think and play

...we all took something
away from it; they got an
insight into my world and
I got an insight into theirs.

...an incredibly intricate
and complexly rich form,
which was fascinating
to learn about.

...It pushed me to
experiment and it placed
my work in a context
that has let me think
about my work... in new
and exciting ways.
