●United by Emotions Workshop
The theme of this workshop, energy, is the source of everything in science, art, and sports. Inspired by the energy expressed in creative movement, this workshop will ask children to draw lines and express their own energy and emotions to create beautiful rings.

After the exhibition is completed at the Panasonic Center, the cranes and rings will travel back to the United States and be added to a large United by Emotions artwork installed in the atrium at Bache-Martin Public School in Philadelphia.
