The Power Plant

Inspired by the artwork by Iraqi Kurdish artist Hiwa K named My father’s colours periods, this Colour My World workshop will start with a tour of the gallery, after which participating kids will get into crafting. They will use clear acetate and colour sharpies to make a coloured film on top of black and white image/collage.
