Step into the light this October as Lightbox transforms Edward Street into a mesmerising stage of shadow, movement and magic.
Crafted by local families, schools, and community groups in a series of hands-on workshops led by Artist Janine Walker, these magical shadow stories will be projected larger-than-life into the windows of 4 Edward Street as part of the spectacular Lightpool Festival.
