Myths of the Near Future

Myths of the Near Future, is a series of workshops which engages young learners with thinking about what we imagine our future world to be like. Delivered via creative thinking strategy methods and experimentation in a range of visual art techniques, this project explores how sci-fi filmmakers imagine the future through guided questions to foster curiosity before inviting participants to create a tiny world of the future in clay and found materials. 

Students will explore each others’ small scenes using film and photography techniques. These outcomes will be both shared during Cruinnui na nÓg celebrations on the 11th of June 2022. 

This series of workshops will be delivered by Aoife Natsumi Frehan, the Education Coordinator of TULCA Festival of Visual Arts. TULCA Education Programme is a unique programme that focuses on looking at and responding to visual art. It is about reaching out and engaging with schools and the wider community to create an increased awareness and a shared understanding of the Visual Arts.

Supported by the Cruinniú na nÓg event and actualised with the support of Galway City Council.
