Children and families can take part in a range of fun art-making activities by contemporary Australian artist Natalya Hughes when ‘The Castle of Tarragindi on Tour’ comes to Crows Nest Gallery.

Developed in collaboration with the Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA), ‘The Castle of Tarragindi on Tour’ invites audiences to create their own digital hybrid creature, decorate and assemble a 3D object, make elaborate patterns using printed paper, and take part in self-portrait drawing activities.

Hughes creates paintings, textiles, sculptures and installations informed by decorative and ornamental traditions. In ‘The Castle of Tarragindi’, the artist has chosen to explore ‘grotesque’ design, a specific tradition of ornament known for its hybridity.

These self-guided activities are free and no bookings are required.

The Castle of Tarragindi on Tour is at Crows Nest Gallery 10 January - 4 February 2024.
