Based on the exhibition "swimwimwim" by S4RA, this workshop invites children to an immersive two-part experience.
First, participants will have the opportunity to individually experience the artist's Virtual Reality (VR) piece; then, we challenge their gaze with a blind drawing session, using water to transform and dilute the created lines, mimicking the fluidity and loss of definition of the underwater world.
We conclude with a group sharing session, where we talk about the influence of the piece on the artworks created.
