Wild City

Overview

By Kathy Holowko

What could life be like for animals – including human animals – living together in your city?

In different cities around the world, adaptations are already taking place to include animals and improve the quality of living in our urban ecosystems. These inspiring examples form the basis of a creative learning workshop where children work together to imagine and build their very own Wild City. Adding to the sculptural building blocks of a city, children explore ideas and create the habitat and infrastructure to welcome wild animals as citizens in their urban landscape.

The end result is a collaborative exhibition, on display in the South Australian Museum throughout DreamBIG 2021, that investigates environmental issues and inspires solutions.
