What do you think the future will be like? Will people be kinder? Will there still be rules? Led by a trained philosopher, the session is entirely interactive and child-led, encouraging even the youngest thinkers to voice their ideas, listen to others, and wonder aloud.
There will also be an opportunity for children to contribute their thoughts and drawings to a collaborative art installation — capturing how young minds imagine what’s to come.

Big Questions for Little Thinkers is part of The Spell or The Dream, a major new commission by Somerset House Studios artist Tai Shani. Centered around a striking new sculpture for the Somerset House courtyard, this multifaceted work includes a 24/7 radio broadcast, live talks and performances, and an extensive family programme, inviting a host of guest contributors to collectively dream of possible futures.
