Colourful Parachutes: Imagining Alternative Futures Through the Power of Play brings together leading artists from Canada and abroad to examine the politics of the exhibition space through the radical power of play.

Imagining children as the exhibition’s primary audience, it puts into question how we make, present, and experience contemporary art—often with unexpected and uniquely engaging results.

Influenced by exhibitions like Palle Nielsen’s The Model (1968), which turned Stockholm’s Moderna Museet into a giant adventure playground, Colourful Parachutes views the gallery as a microcosm of society.

If we allow children to reinvent it, what new worlds can we co-create?
