Artist: Kathy Holowko
Come and visit a mini city landscape that has been transformed into a wild, thriving, green metropolis – where humans and animals share their habitat.
As you explore the exhibition you can use binoculars to discover creatures hiding in wildlife corridors, in nests, or even on green roofs. If you look really hard, you’ll see animals everywhere! Can you find them all?
Wild City is a chance for you and your family to learn more about how humans and animals can live and thrive together.
Wild City was developed at ArtPlay via the New Ideas Lab. The work features an animation and a sculpture of a mini city, where children have created solutions in response to real and inspiring stories of urban ecology.
Come and discover just how wild and wonderful our cities could be!
Age: 3 to 13 years
