Sunday Socials: The Do’s & Don’ts - Responding To Social Rules With Art

Ongoing drop-in activities for all ages

For each exhibition, Pump House Gallery invites visitors to drop-in to the Project Space and explore ideas through hands on activities. Created by an artist, these activities are open for all to enjoy during the gallery opening hours.

For the exhibition The Grounds We Tread, artist Rosalie Schweiker explores and questions the rules and regulations of public spaces and social interactions. Who's making the rules? Is it you or someone else? Come and join us for some rule breaking activities.

Rosalie Schweiker uses social exchanges such as conversations, economic transactions and jokes to find new functions for art in society. Inherent in the work is a playful humour that makes knowable the unwritten rules by which social systems operate.

Every other Sunday, from 12pm – 4pm, this ongoing set of activities is animated by free drop-in family workshops. The workshops provide a fun and thought provoking way for young audiences to explore the exhibition, learning about new techniques and materials with the guidance of an established artist.

In these six playful family workshops, join us as we will explore the do’s and don’ts of our lives.

Sunday 8 May: Our do’s and don’ts
