Event Description

In the "Phytoplankton World: The Unseen Heroes of Marine Life" experience, children will be transported to an immersive underwater world where education and creation come together.

The Children's Art Studio utilises art as a transformative tool to shape understanding and promote community engagement. Through interdisciplinary approaches, we design experiential learning programs that integrate storytelling, art, and education, thereby nurturing accessible and engaging narratives for young learners. Our initiatives prioritize placemaking and community-driven practices. The team is led by Sharada Kerkar and includes artists Tincy Paulose and P.S. Soorya.

Presented By
Makkala Hubba is a children’s experience centre that infuses play with learning to create a sensorial world for children in Freedom Park. It transforms the park’s historic grounds into a landscape of curiosity, connection, and wonder. It is where learning happens through touch, sound, movement, and storytelling, and a space where the city, nature, and imagination meet.
