Where moment and colour become memory.
Crossings in Colour invites members of the community to co-create a large-scale movement-based painting on a canvas laid across the courtyard floor. Participants take off their shoes, dip their feet in bright, non-toxic fabric paint, and step onto the canvas. As they walk, dance and swirl to Holi-inspired music, they generate a collective artwork through colour and motion.
It’s playful, physical and family-friendly, and deeply connected to themes of cultural movement and shared community experience. The final canvas becomes a vibrant record of all the crossings made together: a bridge built not of steel, but of footsteps, colour and joy.
