MAD Family Day

This project was about silhouettes and narratives and was designed to connect with themes in the exhibition Slash: Paper Under The Knife. I designed a simple city paper background, families were asked to make paper silhouettes and add them to the city, interacting with it. It was fun to see the city grow and evolve and to hear the children building stories around it. The city started having things like cars and people but slowly evolved to flying octopus and aliens abducting people!

Family Days in museums hold a special place in my heart as I find that for a child the moment of sharing creation with a parent can be extremely powerful, I thank the Museum of Art and Design for inviting me to be a part of this one. Check out their blog for more info on this event,
