With the aim to engage our young people’s interests and appreciation in Macao’s history and its cultural heritage, GalaxyArt conducted 2 themed workshops the first weekend after Juxtapose opened. During the workshops , 30 sets of parents and their children were treated to a docent-led tour of “Juxtapose”, followed by a storytelling session conducted by a representative of the Oral History Association of Macao. Afterwards, children participated in a handicraft workshop creating their own artwork using pipe cleaners, which they were able to bring home as souvenirs as part of their weekend spent with mom and dad!
