As part of the Sydney Festival 2024, the Hive Festival will present two weekends of music, performance and play, encouraging children to consider their place and responsibilities within our ecosystem. Hive will happen at the Art Gallery of New South Wales on 13 and 14 January 2024 and the Leo Kelly Blacktown Arts Centre on 19 and 20 January 2024. The free event will see both venues come alive with interactive artworks, hands-on workshops, performances, storytelling and talks.
A centrepiece is a new collaborative artwork designed by Noa Haim, director of Collective Paper Aesthetics, Rotterdam, titled Be at the Hive where Art Gallery visitors will contribute hexagonal cardboard prisms to a growing “beehive”, culminating in the assembly of giant hive-like structures in the North Building to create an immersive sensory experience.
