Festival Art Souterrain
Following a short introduction to her work, artist Léa Boudreau invites participants into a playful and surprising hands-on workshop.
Children, accompanied by a parent, will design and build a small vibrating creature, a “bug”, brought to life using tiny motors. Blending crafting, experimentation, and imagination, this activity offers a tangible way to explore the fascinating boundary between the living and the artificial.
Conceived as both an artistic and sensory experience, this workshop echoes the theme of Duality, at the heart of the Festival Art Souterrain 18th edition.
