As part of Ocean Space's 2024 exhibition program, "Re-Stor(y)ing Oceania" curated by Taloi Havini, and in collaboration with LAS Art Foundation, with the exhibition "Josèfa Ntjam: Swell of spæc(i)es", the educational department offers a series of four workshops for children and students (aged 3 to 25), with an intergenerational and intersectional approach through which participants can discover and learn about the marine microcosm.

Each session is introduced by a scientist, followed by a workshop where participants will be guided in (re)creating a zoomarine environment, experimenting with various artistic techniques. Activities are led by young artists and performers, fostering intergenerational exchange and peer tutoring. The "exhibition space" becomes a poetic place for collective reflection. The series concludes with a final event at the end of September.

The Ocean, with its interspecies, represents the origin of life in all of its many forms.

A proposal to gain new knowledge with an innovative and fun approach.

Who will be the inhabitants of Zoomarino?

Saturday, May 18 - second appointment

Time 11am - 12:30pm (ages 6-12 years)

Time 3:30 - 4:30pm (ages 3-5 years)

The workshop will be introduced by a researcher through live observation of some marine creatures present in the lagoon with the aid of microscopes. Children will be guided in creating drawings based on what they have seen under the microscope. The created silhouettes will be projected and animated using a light board. The workshop will be led by young artists.

All activities are free with reservations required and subject to availability.
