Explore the world of Korean fashion with artist and designer Ching Ching Liang, who will lead this workshop inspired by the traditional Korean dress, Hanbok.
Children will be invited to engage sensorily with the Hanbok and through dress-up games will share their own stories about culture and identity.
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: Exploring Korean Traditional Dress is presented in partnership with the Immigration Museum with support from the Australian Government and The University of Melbourne.
