Saturday 2 May
Put together a picture-book with Kids’ Own Publishing in a free workshop at the Immigration Museum.
Guided by artists Viet-My Bui and Julie Choi, participants will start to shape the artwork and writing created through the K-Publishing program into a collective story. Young authors and artists will become young editors, making decisions about themes, storyline and character for the book. Children in this session will also create additional artwork and writing responding to the authorial decisions the group makes together.
The artwork, writing, and photographs produced by kids in this session will become content for a picture book that will be collaboratively shaped by kids throughout the K-Publishing program and launched in July.
K-Publishing: Creating our Australian Kids' Korean Story is presented in partnership with the Immigration Museum with support from the Australian Government and The University of Melbourne.
Free, booking is required
