About

MediaCity’s winter season highlight – Lightwaves Salford, is set to return from Thursday, 5th to Sunday 8th December with a special extended run of the showstopping water based ‘Monad’ artwork until 22 December.

This year Lightwaves Salford will feature 14 illuminated artworks along a 2km fully accessible trail around MediaCity and Salford Quays.

The mesmerizing immersive experience will include installations of different scale using light, sound and technology with Monad as the centre piece overlooking MediaCity’s iconic Piazza.

Monad showstopper piece: The giant projection-based artwork by Anastasia Isachsen consists of a huge, spectacular video projection using a mist of water as a screen, accompanied by a deeply emotional musical composition by the renowned jazz composer Arve Henriksen. Visitors can enjoy the magical experience of Monad for an extended run up until 22 December. 

Lightwaves Salford is part of the Quays Culture Programme, a partnership initiative with a mission to animate public spaces, bringing extraordinary art and culture events into the heart of the community for everyone to experience free of charge.
