Created for kids, Marvellous Mythical Mates explores the theme of belonging. If you were to create a fanciful creature to symbolise your sense of belonging, what would it look like?
In Marvellous Mythical Mates, embark on an adventure of the senses! Inspired by the sounds, smells and textures of Merri-bek, run wild with your imagination and create your very own mythical dream pet. Perhaps your fabulous creation will ding like the Number 19 tram, or will it gurgle like the Merri Creek?
Contribute to a growing menagerie of Merri-bek creatures by proudly displaying your dream pet in the gallery. With every passing day, new creations emerge, transforming the exhibition into a living habitat for fantastical companions.
Marvellous Mythical Mates is a realm where dreams take flight and imagination knows no bounds. Join us on this extraordinary journey of belonging created by Vipoo Srivilasa and let loose your magic within!
Vipoo Srivilasa is represented in Melbourne by Scott Livesey Galleries.
