Step inside a kaleidoscopic wonderland of colours and creativity. Colour Maze is an imaginative play experience created and brought to life by Amigo & Amigo. It inspires children to get hands-on with visual art and journey through the “Tongpop” aesthetic of Sydney Festival Visual Artist in Residence Telly Tuita.   

Kids will wind their way through ten rooms – with building blocks, swings and knitted playgrounds, and channel their inner artist with hands-on craft and sticker activities featuring Tongan motifs.   

Public art experts Amigo & Amigo have pioneered a new era of joyful installations at Sydney Festival, Vivid Sydney, Illuminate Adelaide, Canada’s Lights On Stratford and in Hong Kong. The studio has teamed up with Tuita, a visual artist and former art educator. Tuita’s vivid Tongpop practice explores his Polynesian diasporic experience through a blaze of colours, nostalgic pop-culture references and memories of his homeland Tonga. 

Keep an ear out for the feel-good soundtrack composed by artist Thalia Skopellos (Ellatronix) scoring the play experience. Born in Darwin and now based in Sydney, Skopellos is the founder of Soulset Studios and her commercial releases have featured on major Spotify playlists.

A creative art adventure awaits this summer. 

Recommended for ages 2 – 12
