The programme begins with a brief introduction to the exhibition A truly immense journey, focusing on the colourful, vibrant worlds of Hana Miletić and Lygia Clark. Miletić explores textiles and craft techniques, drawing inspiration from the traditions of her childhood in the former Yugoslavia. Clark, a leading figure in the Brazilian art scene, invites visitors to handle and interact with her works.

The children then create a collective soft toy from fabric, thread and wool, exploring folding, sewing, felting and assembly. Inspired by Clark's iconic sculptures, the Bichos* or ‘little creatures’ in Portuguese, the activity results in a collective textile creature presented to the birthday child. A special souvenir of a creative afternoon with friends!
