Open Workshop: Living in the Midtones
This Open Workshop is an invitation to explore points of convergence in a world of contrasts. People with and without art experience are welcome to participate in a game of words, writing, and drawing to experiment with the nuances of language and the construction of shared meanings, creating a collective mural inspired by the Pacific Ocean—a space that separates and, at the same time, connects Chile and Australia.

About Nube Lab
Nube Lab (Santiago, Chile) is a public learning lab that promotes creativity and socio-emotional skills as fundamental pillars for the future. It designs experiences that transform the ordinary into the extraordinary, promoting new ways of seeing, learning and doing at all stages of life. This vision aligns with the mission of the Museums & Collections Department at the University of Melbourne to bring art into the everyday lives of the greatest diversity of people, promoting dialogue between cultures, interdisciplinarity, and creative practice beyond the boundaries of art. Out of this shared interest, the two institutions have forged a trans-Pacific alliance that embraces creativity as a tool for learning, encounter and social transformation.

This is a free event, all are welcome.
