Places we know and grow (5-7 years)

Adaptation at Play:
Places we know and grow (for children aged 5-7 years)

A children’s workshop with Cara MacLeod 

Local children will co-create a special exhibit sharing their ideas and hopes for resilient housing in the Northern Rivers. Participants will recreate their local area in a collaborative artwork with felt and loose parts. Through games, drawing and modelling, they’ll imagine and design houses that meet their needs and respond to our changing environment.

Cara MacLeod lives on Yaegl Country in Northern NSW and works as an artist and facilitator in museums, galleries, schools and community settings. She creates fun and inclusive programs and resources for people of all ages and abilities. Cara values collaboration and community-led initiatives to creates change by building connections between artists, communities and the environment.

We are also running this same event for children aged 8-10 years from 12:30pm - 2:00pm on Saturday 2nd December. Register for this event here. 

Children must be accompanied by a parent/guardian for this workshop.

This venue is wheelchair accessible. 

This event is part of Bring It On Home, a new exhibition and public program that explores housing beyond our own backyards. October to December 2023.
