SCHEDULE OF EVENTS
Explore: The NEST
10 am–3 pm
Play, make, and imagine an identity for an elusive, migrating Creature and help it feel at home in the Twin Cities with The NEST. This playscape is created by you with found objects and art materials while you explore clues, make artifacts, and embody stories of difference and place through creative play in an evolving installation space.

Megan Flød Johnson is an interdisciplinary artist who imagines new art experiences that fuse inquiry-driven installation spaces with participatory performance. She founded The NEST, and co-creates with young people and families as a form of civic engagement. Johnson presents unique performance and art-making experiences for children that designate space for process, dialogue, experimental thinking, play, and welcoming multiple points of view.
