Water Binds Us

London, 2024
A creative learning commission by The Mosaic Rooms

Play Lab: Water Binds Us was a three-month intervention at The Mosaic Rooms. 

Drawing inspiration from Mahmoud Darwish’s poetic reflection “water binds me to your name”, this project transformed one of the gallery spaces into a sensory playground for children and their accompanying grown-ups. This space extended an open invitation for the public to explore new ways to interconnect, engaging with water as a medium for play, transformation, and collective imagination.

The sensory play space for children and their accompanying grown-ups, evolved over the three month period, utilising experimental methods across five workshops for children and families. Each workshop left a “trace” in the Play Lab, which was explored, developed and activated by the wider public.
