I SEE YOU LIKE THIS: An experience for children and their parents by Jessica Wilson with Matilda Woodroofe.

How does your child see you? With our ever-growing appetite to document our lives through photos and selfies, children are so often the reluctant subjects of their parents’ cameras — asked to smile, look natural, look that way, and come closer.

In this unique hands-on experience children will become the art director of a creative portrait of their parent.  With an exciting selection of materials and objects, the child uses their adult or parent’s face as the canvas for a unique, and often bizarre, portrait.

Once complete the parent/child pair move to the studio area where a photo is taken using your own phone or camera. SNAP. This amazing portrait is yours to keep.

Presented as part of the Glen Eira Storytelling Festival (18 June – 2 July).

Suitable for children aged five to 12 and parents. Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Tickets: $5 per pair, bookings required.
