☀️ Celebrating the opening of Plans for the Planet: Olaf Breuning for Kids, join Swiss artist Olaf Brening and NGV Curator of Children’s Programs, Kate Ryan for a special tour of the exhibition.
Hear from the artist himself as he shares how the experience invites children and families to explore the natural environment and reflect on their relationship with the world.
☀️ ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
Inspired by the thrill and adventure found in playgrounds and theme parks, Plans for The Planet offers young people the chance to explore, be creative and share their points of view about the planet and its future.
Championing young voices and a love of the natural world, children can engage with and problem-solve some of today’s environmental issues such as deforestation, pollution and loss of habitat for wildlife, while expressing their hopes for a better planet.
Using a specially-designed swipe card collected at the exhibition entrance, kids can go on their own adventure activating animations and multimedia activities to help forest animals save their forest home, make a funny self-portrait and type up their solutions to issues and share their plans for the planet for everyone to see.
