Cubbyhood celebrates the connection between children and their adults, and the intergenerational collaboration in creating play spaces and imagined worlds.
Bookings are now open (via Trybooking) for Cubbyhood, taking place at the Oratory in Abbotsford Convent on 14-15 June across four sessions each day.
Join Polyglot artists in the Oratory to explore storytelling and play through space-making. Together, we will build cardboard cubbies with special windows that show who and what is important to us. These immersive sessions offer a curious, insightful record of children’s collective imaginings and reflections.
Recommended for children aged 3-5 years and their adults.
