“The exhibition surveys playgrounds delivered by architects, artists and urbanists since the early twentieth century … In Melbourne, this material has been extended by compelling local examples … The display raises some critical questions: how much risk are we willing to allow our children? And, more importantly, how much risk do they need? … The result is a deeply layered journey with international and local perspectives overlaid with each other.”
