OmbraMalombra by Ezia MitoloOmbraMalombra by Ezia Mitolo is an interactive project which challenges visual and digital art by imitating morphing animation. Flexible lycra stands allow the participants and the audience to perform and be creative without having being trained in visual art – a one to one exploration of empathy between performer and public.

  • Ezia and her interactive piece will be based in Mum’s Café which is upstairs at The Indoor Bowling Centre in Portobello from Monday 29th August to Friday 2nd September from 3pm to 7pm.

Commissions

Big Things on the Beach is a public art trust in Portobello, a seaside suburb close to the city centre of Edinburgh, Scotland. It was formed by a group of residents in 2003 to explore the potential of the seafront as a site for engagement with public artworks by both emerging and established artists.

Since 2004 we have commissioned artists to create substantial temporary artworks, trained ourselves and others in the process of commissioning public artworks through international site visits and guest lectures and successfully raised funding to these ends.

Our current project - The Big Welcome - is supported by Creative Scotland, Portobello & Craigmillar Neighbourhood Partnership and Edinburgh City Libraries
