Family Connections: Imagining a New Universe Drawing Workshop
19 October 2018, 3pm - 4pm
Families of all ages are invited to join us to explore our exhibitions through making activities, creative exercises and personal responses.
This workshop for all ages will explore TBG+S's current exhibition Abel and Élio by Lola Gonzàlez. Through group exercises and collaborative drawing we will create new universes, with the participants as inhabitants. Working together we will map out this imaginary universe within the gallery space with our bodies, using movement to make connections between people, then illustrating this imaginary new world using colouring pencils and paper to answer questions like: What does the future hold? Will we live in cities? What language will we speak? Will we have to use different senses?
