  Bridge Crossing 
  
  In 1999, Cai Guo-Qiang was one of the first artists to collaborate with the Gallery on a project for children as part of the inaugural Kids’ APT, launched to coincide with ‘The Third Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art’ (APT3).
  
  Cai Guo-Qiang’s project enabled children to make their own miniature bridges from bamboo and masking tape to complement his major APT3 installation Blue dragon and bridge crossing 1999, a traditional bamboo bridge that spanned the Gallery’s iconic Watermall. Children can be inspired by Cai’s drawings of bridges from around the world and create their own bridges to display at their venue or take home.

  Hands-on-activity 
  
  Boats, animals and trees often appear in Cai Guo-Qiang’s exhibitions. The artist uses these symbols as a way to connect people and places together, even those on opposite sides of the world.
  
  Inspired by Cai’s artwork Heritage 2013, the Children’s Art Centre has developed this activity for children to create their own exhibition display at their venue.
