The Power Plant

This Power Kids workshop called Safe Keeping is inspired by Sandra Brewster's installation A Place To Put Your Things.

Participants will start with a walk right outside of the Power Plant, and stop by the Canada Square to discuss their impressions and feelings. After that, kids will head back to the gallery to create pouches that they will fill with crafted items and written texts that express their emotions and thoughts. They will make their own safe place to keep and acknowledge their feelings.
