Accurate locations, examples of what's on offer and poss things to notice nearby (photos taken as best I could with my little doing-its-best phone; obviously things look somewhat better in real life...)This is a work in progress - updates as I manage to get around more...

Always worth a visit. Great cinema and nice cafe.
Lovely first room from Pedro Reyes with games (mostly sort of easy warm up acting games) - great if you've got kids or you're a bunch of students or you just want some light relief
These camouflage skins - made by visitors directed by Jemima Wyman taking materials of conflict and making them into objects of comfort - are rather lovely.
There's a film too (Anja Kirschner nd David Panos) which is worth a look - lots of crisp (often painful) sounds and images of rock and stone and naked bodies (I think they're cave people):
Message seems to be along the lines of: Stone has been mined there for millenia, it made towers for the powerful, they're still there and still used, some things from the past have gone. Power, what's really new? how do/should we look at the past?...

Black and white photos from South African photographer, Sabelo Mlangeni.
There are two collections but interestingly, the way they're arranged, you end up with black people down one side and white down the other.
Definitely some good photos though it's only a small show.

Ming Wong's Making Chinatown
This is quite cool. Wong dresses up and plays all the main parts (men, women, girls) in a sort of remake of Polanski's film - and he can act.
He also does a noirish clatter through the world's chinatowns.
And it's all played on four big screens in a darkened room.
Fun.
