Glow & Tell

An interactive light-filled storytelling adventure.

Blending the magic of light and simplicity of storytelling, children are placed at the centre of this engaging interactive experience. Using UV light in a custom-built tent, the classroom is transformed into an intimate performance space where stories and imagined worlds come alive as glowing drawings appear on the walls and floor. Following the performance, students are invited to create and illustrate their own stories in glowing UV light.

There are two versions of Glow & Tell, created by artists Edgell Junior Edgell (Ni-Vanuatu) and Evyenia Stefanidis (Greek). Each version shares a unique story exploring themes of family and culture.
