Pod Plosion - little helper

Pod Plosion; a site-specific community arts event hosted at Castlefields allotment, Shrewsbury, Shropshire by artist Jacky Champ.

 

The Pod; was a 3metre diametre sphere which was filled with enough helium filled balloons (around 1,000) to raise it into the air before the grand balloon release and race. It was an event for children to introduce them to the allotment and seed growth and seed dispersal. Each of the balloons contained a seed of choice selected by the children. A wish was made by each of the children as they inserted their balloon (and seed) into the giant pod.

 

The event was a huge success thanks to the Allotment Committee for coming onboard and providing refreshments and homemade cakes.
