Wild City — Discover the harmony of humans and animals

Explore Wild City, where animals are considered citizens in the urban landscape.

Through hands-on workshops, artist Kathy Holowko will guide children to transform a miniature sculptural city into a lush habitat where humans and animals live in harmony. The children’s work will be curated into temporary exhibitions for the public to view after the workshops.

Monday 17 July–Sunday 23 July
