What do you feel when you imagine climate change? What if that feeling were to come ALIVE? What if that feeling became a CREATURE? One that had a mind of its own, but one we could relate to…
The Shape of Quiet Feelings is an immersive, atmospheric, sensory, audio-visual experience brought to life by a team of award-winning artists and designers, followed by a 20-minute responsive workshop, giving story and form to something that can sometimes feel scary and intangible.
It hopes to empower children to consider new approaches to some of the big challenges presented by climate change, and gives them the opportunity to create their own climate creature.
