A new project for the Sibling Experiment?
Sibling Rivalry?
They may not get along as children but many siblings find they can be friends as adults.
What happens though when you consider your sibling a friend and then rivalry causes a rift?
Inspired by the Miliband brothers The Sibling Experiment is moving into the murky world of the sibling rivalry.

The Sibling Experiment and Hybrid
As part of Hybrid which runs throughout February in Sheffield The Pritchard Sisters will be conducting two experiments as part of The Sibling Experiment.
On Friday 5th Feb at Persistence Works Sheffield between 18:00- 20:30 we will be conducting ‘The Control Event’. This will involve games and tasks that aim to prove our sibling theories. If you aren’t a sibling then this is the event for you!
Then on Saturday 20th Feb at Sheffield Institute of Arts Gallery between 12:00 and 18:00 we are launching The Sibling Experiment 2.1. This will give members of the public the chance to drop in and test their sibling bond through fun and games.
“The Sibling Experiment began in 2007 with the development of the Sibling Experiment Day. Since then The Pritchard Sisters have involved other sets of siblings in their ‘pseudo psychological human testing’ games. The days explore the relationship between siblings providing light hearted (and most importantly) fun replications of scientific experiments resulting in sibling bonding.”
We hope to see you there.
