Hong Kong–based Japanese artist and architect Hikoko Ito is creating a series of decorative mailboxes for an exciting new project at the Art Gallery of New South Wales.
In the lead up, visitors of all ages are invited to contribute to the project by taking part in a creative workshop in which you’ll decorate birthday cards designed by Hikoko Ito.
The cards feature details from some of the artist’s favourite artworks in the Art Gallery’s collection. You’re invited to add your own imaginative drawings to a card and write a special birthday wish so your card can become part of Hikoko Ito’s artwork and installation, titled Happy Birthday 2U2.
Drop in to the workshop any time during the listed hours. Materials and instructions are provided. Suitable for all ages and abilities. Children under 12 must be supervised by an adult at all times.
This workshop on 18 and 19 January 2025 is part of Hive Festival at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. Find out more about Hive Festival, including sensory-friendly Hive.
