You may recognise James Lyons from performing alongside The Dusterlings on CBeebies’ Justin’s House! James is a multi-instrumentalist, beatboxer and rapper based in Liverpool. He has been an active musician and workshop leader for over 20 years, bringing his own brand of positive hip-hop and instrument beatboxing to stages and festivals all across the UK and beyond. His performances incorporate live looping, improvisation and interactive musical activities suitable for all ages.

Wishful Thinking explores how gallery spaces can best serve us as a space for reflection, immersion and rest.

Designed by Society of Explorers, Site Gallery’s arts collective of young people aged 14 – 19, Wishful Thinking comes from the expression of the same name, and how young people feel their wants and desires can wrongly be dismissed as implausible.

Through a series of workshops, the Explorers investigated their hopes for a space that feels like a sanctuary for the mind and spirit in the midst of a chaotic world – as one of the group stated “to zoom out and slow down the swirling and worries in my brain”.
