Where Flowers Listen, Clouds Dance, and Children Lead the Way

Step into The Garden, a gentle and imaginative world created especially for babies and young children. This beautifully crafted installation invites families to explore a playful landscape filled with flowers, plants, soft sculptural creatures and curious interactive moments. From the cosy Baby Garden with its soft sensory robotics to the meadow-nestled reading nook, each space is designed to nurture early discovery and encourage children to explore at their own pace. For babies and young children 0-5 years

Panel Discussion

Babies and the Digital World: Challenges and Opportunities for the Earliest Years

Join us for a panel discussion exploring the challenges and opportunities babies and young children face in an increasingly digital world. 
Bringing together artists, researchers and technologists, the discussion asks how digital culture can support creativity, care and respect for our youngest audiences. Rather than debating whether babies should encounter technology, we examine how they are invited into digital artistic spaces — and what ethical responsibilities this creates.
