ART ON THE
WILD SIDE
23 MAY – 11 OCTOBER 2015
GOMA
The Children’s Art Centre looked at how
artists use animals to share their ideas,
assembling a menagerie of wild works
from the Collection. Visitors created
zoomorphic images using Farsi script
in
Persian for kids
and released
animals into their natural habitats
in
The call of the wild
.

The popular long-running and free
Toddler Tuesday uses games, storytelling
and interactivity to encourage toddlers to have
fun learning about art. Each session explores a
single artwork in the Collection and is suitable
