Asia Pacific Triennial Kids

Have you got a budding artist in tow? Or are you looking to enrich a curious little mind? Kids of all ages are invited to explore their boundless creativity at Asia Pacific Triennial Kids – a fun and free hands-on exhibition series at QAGOMA. Coinciding with the 11th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art, GOMA’s Children’s Art Centre is presenting a collection of interactive artworks to engage young audiences with dynamic art forms of the region while fostering creativity and cross-cultural understanding.

Running daily until Sunday July 13, Asia Pacific Triennial Kids features seven interactive works and activities created by artists from India, New Zealand, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia/Palestine, Cambodia and Timor-Leste. The fun-filled interactive exhibition series invites kids to meet the artist through a video, see a display of the artist’s work and get creative through a specific hands-on activity. Children can explore sacred geometry with geometric patterns by Dana Awartani’s ‘Unity Within Multiplicity’, draw monsters just like Malaysian artist Harold ‘Egn’ Eswar, and try their hand at music composition in ‘My Kitchen Sounds’ by Timorese artist Etson Caminha.

Cambodian artist Yim Maline, known for sculptures made from found fabrics, presents Art Box for Kids: Yim Maline at Asia Pacific Triennial Kids, showcasing drawings by her and her students about their dreams for Cambodia’s future. Visitors are also invited to create their own drawings reflecting their hopes for the future
