Asia Pacific Triennial Kids on Tour | QAGOMA Workshop

The Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA) Children’s Art Centre and Regional Services has developed the ‘Asia Pacific Triennial Kids on Tour’ interactive program, enabling Queensland communities to enjoy key elements of the program.

‘Asia Pacific Triennial Kids on Tour’ will feature projects developed by the Children’s Art Centre in collaboration with artists from India, Aotearoa New Zealand, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Palestine, Cambodia and Timor-Leste, who invite children to explore wide-ranging themes and ideas through a mix of hands-on activities.

All ages are welcome, but we find that primary school aged and younger high school children get the most out of these holiday workshops.

Free, but bookings are required.

The Gallery is closed over the Christmas period, so if you book and find you cannot attend please self-cancel your ticket so that people on the waiting list can be notified.

Some of the workshop activities may include:

• Rithika Merchant’s If the Seeds Chose Where to Grow 2024 is a digital activity that encourages children to shape an imaginary world
• Brett Graham’s Te Wakuwaku 2024 is a drawing activity inviting children to explore shapes and pattern making.
• Dana Awartani’s activity Unity Within Multiplicity 2024 explores sacred geometry and traditional Zellij tiling through drawing, allowing children to add colour to geometric paper designs.
• Monster of Wants 2024 by Harold ‘Egn’ Eswar invites children to make a drawing of a monster that represents the things they want.
• In Yim Maline’s A Dream for the Future 2024, children are prompted to make a drawing of what they dream for the future.
