Lunar New Year Kids Workshop

Kick-start your Lunar New Year with a relationship workshop hosted by children’s book artist Myo Yim, as part of the exhibition ‘Lisa Myeung-Joo: The Red Chair in your picture does not exist’.

Inspired by Lisa Myeung-joo’s work, attendees will participate in a hands-on workshop using various materials. This 2-hour workshop will guide participants in creating individual art pieces using red tones, and they will learn how to combine these pieces into a single work of art through patchwork. The image they create will merge with others to tell a new story.  

Participants will be offered Korean traditional rice cake (Tteok), along with a selection of lollies.
