Presented by Architects of Air

Arborialis has the natural world for inspiration. Immersion in an arboreal world of tree-like forms and abundant leaf motifs.

Arborialis, as the name suggests, is dedicated to the theme of ‘trees’. Trees can be seen in structural forms and in graphic representation. Arborialis echos aspects of being lost in a forest – there are radiant canopies of leaves that stretch overhead, there are vibrant tree trunks rising from the ground beneath.

The Main Dome frames the leaf motif in a magnificent cupola that references the form of the Islamic mosque domes that are one of Architect of Air’s primary sources of inspiration.

bOing! 2026: Arborialis – Luminarium

Sat 29 - Sun 30 August

ART31

ART31 takes its name from Article 31 of the UN Convention on the Rights of a Child, which states that ‘Children have the right to relax and play, and to join in a wide range of cultural, artistic and other recreational activities’.

ART31 is a vision created with, by, and for young people in Kent, championing the belief that all children and young people have an entitlement to access high quality arts and culture, to empower them to achieve their creative potential, and to genuinely engage young people as equal partners in any decision making that affects them.

The ART31 Youth Board is made up of young people from across Kent aged 13-25 who steer its governance, and influence policy and practice across the county and beyond, challenging the creative sector to examine existing ways of working and integrate young people into the core of their practice.
