Current and upcoming events and activities for children and families
Play Lab: Water Binds Us
Saturday 2 March–Sunday 16 June, 11-4pm – FREE
Play Lab: Water Binds Us is a three-month intervention at The Mosaic Rooms by Chahine Fellahi.
Drawing inspiration from Mahmoud Darwish’s poetic reflection “water binds me to your name”, this project transports one of the gallery spaces into a sensory playground for children and their accompanying grown-ups. This space extends an open invitation for the public to explore new ways to interconnect, engaging with water as a medium for play, transformation, and collective imagination.
The sensory play space for children and their accompanying grown-ups, will evolve over the period, utilising experimental methods across three public workshops for children and families. Each workshop leaves a “trace” in the Play Lab, to be explored and developed by you.
Discover projection, movement and mark-making, and make and project your own mesmerising waterscapes onto the walls at the Mosaic Rooms.
