Atlas of Blue, Ocean Families proposal for this year explores the connections between water, memory, and cultural continuity, in dialogue with the exhibition Tide of Returns. 

The program, dedicated to children aged 3 to 12 and their families, unfolds through a cycle of 4 multisensory workshops grounded in two central themes: symbolic repatriation and cultural continuity, and water as an element of transmission, care, and relationships. 

Through accessible artistic practices—such as collecting personal objects, constructing figures, experimenting with cyanotype and collective weaving—children and their families are invited to reflect on the relationship between individual memory and shared heritage, between land and sea, and between roots and crossings. 

The program begins with the collection and sharing of meaningful personal objects, gathered or kept over time.

Through storytelling and the symbolic mapping of their origins, participants reflect on the themes of belonging, journey and memory.

This phase also marks the start of the collective blue weaving project, which will run throughout the entire series of workshops.

The workshop is divided into age groups:

• 11am – 12pm | workshops for children aged 3–5
• 3 – 4:30pm | workshops for children aged 6–12

Participation is free but places are limited, please book by email at education@ocean-space.org.
