Activities for Families

The exhibition Petrichor: the Smell of Rain, on show at Casa do Design until December 3, features three immersive, educational and creative experiences aimed at families. - - WATERPROOF Target audience: Children aged 5 to 12 (accompanied by an adult) November 18th, 19th and December 3rd Time: 15:30 - 16:30 Free activity, subject to registration In this activity, we invite participants to taste water and reflect on ideas and stories related to this vital element, as well as how our behavior can influence it. The water tasting is inspired by the ideas of Masaru Emoto, who believed that water possessed a kind of consciousness, capable of 'remembering' experiences and the positive or negative energies associated with them. OTHER PEOPLE'S WATER November 26th and December 2nd Target audience: Children aged 5 to 12 (accompanied by an adult) Time: 15:30 - 16:30 Free activity, subject to registration Can water in the air be used to dye a t-shirt? During this activity, participants will learn the process of dyeing using small droplets of water such as those found in fog. SEAWALL Target audience: Guided tour groups Complementary activity (accompanied by the exhibition visit monitor) Free activity Until December 3, Casa do Design's educational service space invites visitors to build a fish house using a simple structure made from fabric waste. This activity is inspired by the piece alluding to the aquatic/marine environment, based on the idea of performance with wearables, inspired by the corvina dance. Visitors are also invited to co-create and wear a series of pieces that inspire creative action and communication through performance and movement. Registration at www.portodesignbiennale.pt
