Chiara Carminati, Massimiliano Tappari
Walkabout with Piccolo verde
walkabout and workshop ages 6-10 – 90 minutes; 25 participants
A small photo safari around the city with two special guides who will teach us how to bring our eyes, heads, and hearts into harmony to celebrate the miniature public parks that characterise each of our walks. We will draw attention to the small – often overlooked – things hiding great beauty.
