The fifth edition of Gallery Children's Biennale is held in conjunction with the Gallery's 10th anniversary and the nation's 60th birthday. With the overarching theme of 'Tomorrow We'll Be…', the Biennale invites children to reflect on the endless possibilities of the future.
Both children and adults can look forward to 8 multi-sensorial artworks by both local and international artists, as well as a lineup of free, engaging activities throughout the period.
Fantasy by Co2_karbondioksida is a work inspired by the creators' 2-year-old daughter, Quinn. The piece was made by repurposing pre-loved baby clothes and toys.
