Squish, Twist, Fizz: Mika Rottenberg for Kids (Free)


  • NGV International (map)

As part of the 2026 NGV Triennial, artist Mika Rottenberg invites children on a surreal, hands-on adventure with Squish, Twist, Fizz.

At the heart of the exhibition is Cosmic Generator (2017), a fascinating video work that takes viewers through brightly lit underground tunnels, colourful marketplaces and quirky communities along the border between Mexico and the United States.

Inspired by the film's textures, colours and movement, the interactive exhibition invites children to explore their creativity through drawing activities, light and sound play, and sculpture-making using twistable stems and forms created from recycled plastic waste collected from the streets of New York City.

A playful opportunity for young visitors to explore art, materials and sensory experiences while discovering the unexpected connections in our world.
