Discover, touch, play and learn in our new Squish Space.

We are delighted to announce that we are extending the Squish Space residency, bringing a new season of play to the space in June 2019 and continuing our work with Squish Space creators India Harvey & Lisa Marie Bengtsson until spring 2020. 

In this new season of Squish Space, Lisa & India invite you to explore the possibility that play has no beginning or end, instead we are constantly engaged in the flow of interaction and exchange with children at play. Squish Space will be filled with items that help adults and children explore the communication of play together, as the season progresses we expect the space evolve with new activities exploring interaction, collaboration and the urgency of play.
