An adult with two children engage with an artwork made of cardboard. One child is inside the cardboard construction while the adult and child look on. There is a rainbow drawn on the cardboard and there are two soft coverings over the cardboard. There is a black covering and in front of it is an image of a person.](/sites/default/files/styles/21x9_1100w/public/2024-03/summer_family_art_party.jpg?h=4301ee70&itok=EFNcjLtU)

Artmaking Activities
Future Memoria invites you to reflect on the role art plays in the future’s many imaginings. Explore the exhibition, answer questions, and try activities in the Art Monster Booklet guided by the Gallery’s Youth Docents.
In response to Keith Langergraber’s graphite drawing City of Future Past, build a cardboard metropolis of the future. You’ll also have the opportunity to invent your own tech with buttons, switches, and dials riffing off the colourful sculpture Control Panels by Daniel Jolliffe.
Last but not least, you can design your own mini museum layering colour, line, and transparency inspired by Robert Youds' inventive installation Bruno Taut’s window, start your own museum.
Interactive Performances
The Gallery will host interactive performances by Stephen Hamm Theremin Man that feature the futuristic sounds of the theremin. The theremin is an electronic instrument invented by Leo Theremin in 1928 that creates otherworldly sounds through the manipulation of electromagnetic fields. Pick up free tickets on arrival for shows in the Studio Theatre at 1:30pm or 3pm.
Sensory-Friendly Space
A dedicated sensory-friendly space supports quieter creativity with a paper landscape collage making activity, resources like noise-cancelling headphones, soft seats, and sensory toys, in a comfortable, relaxed setting.
