Amigo & Amigo
Step inside a kaleidoscopic wonderland of colours and creativity. Colour Maze is an imaginative play experience created and brought to life by Amigo & Amigo. It inspires children to get hands-on with visual art and journey through the “Tongpop” aesthetic of Sydney Festival Visual Artist in Residence Telly Tuita.
Kids will wind their way through ten rooms – with building blocks, swings and knitted playgrounds, and channel their inner artist with hands-on craft and sticker activities featuring Tongan motifs.
Public art experts Amigo & Amigo have pioneered a new era of joyful installations at Sydney Festival, Vivid Sydney, Illuminate Adelaide, Canada’s Lights On Stratford and in Hong Kong. The studio has teamed up with Tuita, a visual artist and former art educator. Tuita’s vivid Tongpop practice explores his Polynesian diasporic experience through a blaze of colours, nostalgic pop-culture references and memories of his homeland Tonga.
A creative art adventure awaits this summer.
Recommended for ages 2 – 12
