Have you ever entered a garden of images? In these wonderful places, you don't only watch and listen to films: you can touch them, shape them, smell them and even taste them. We invite you to explore one of these gardens where you’ll find all kinds of textures, materials and experiences to play, feel and create with. These places need lots of hands and watchful eyes so that together we can explore every nook and cranny and transform them however we want. Come in and help us to expand the garden!
The session will combine screenings of short films about childhood, gardens, nature and the relationship between different living beings with elements that will leap off the screen and into the room in the form of creative proposals.
