In this collaborative creation workshop, children—along with their families—will make hundreds of tiny stars to build a new galaxy: a universe invented by everyone, where each point of light opens a different path. Guided by illustrator Olga de Dios, we will explore the possibilities of painting under ultraviolet light, playing with fluorescent tempera paints that glow and transform according to the movements of our hands, our strokes, and our imaginations.

It will be a unique space to experiment, share and discover how light reveals unexpected shapes, how a stain becomes a star and how, together, those stars can tell us new stories.

At the end of the workshop, Olga de Dios will be available for a book signing of " La estrella con los pies en el suelo" (The Star with Its Feet on the Ground) , her latest book, a tender and luminous adventure that resonates with the spirit of the workshop.

This activity is part of the family program Mythological Christmas, an open and free space del Círculo which invites families to play, create, and imagine together through art, myths, and culture. If you'd like to see the full program, Check it out here.
