Taking inspiration from Rivane Neuenschwander’s _Dream.Lab_, participants will explore the imaginary places their minds take them to when sleeping or daydreaming. Using imagination to explore their inner worlds, participants will play with light and shadow to create two-dimensional representations of their dreams that come to life through artmaking.

Power Kids

Rivane Neuenschwander’s participatory works are made in collaboration with the viewer and involve a combination of games, experiments, and spontaneous and participatory actions.

Rivane Neuenschwander’s (b. 1967 in Belo Horizonte, BR; lives and works in São Paulo, BR) participatory works are made in collaboration with the viewer and involve a combination of games, experiments, and spontaneous and participatory actions. Her works are shaped by an interest in language, nature, geography, time, and social interactions, and how these processes are connected. Her work has been shown in major arts organisations internationally, including: Instituto Inhotim, Brumadinho Minas Gerais, BR (2024–26); Instituto Cultural Itaú, São Paulo (2024–25); Kinder Kunst Labor, St. Pölten, AT (2024–25); Serralves Foundation, Porto, PT (2022–23); Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein, Vaduz, LI (2021–22); Whitechapel Gallery, London, UK (2015); São Paulo Museum of Modern Art (2014); Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin (2011–12); Mälmo Konstall, SE (2010); and the New Museum, New York (2010). 

 

Power Kids takes place on select Sundays throughout our exhibition seasons and includes a guided tour in or outside the gallery followed by a short creative activity. Each workshop is different, so kids can return throughout the season and be inspired every time.

Power Kids is a series of free creative workshops for children aged 7–12, led by skilled and dynamic artist-educators and inspired by our current exhibitions.
