Activity Sheets Inspired by Claudia Martínez Garay

Design your own tufting, create a coat of arms and more

Have fun creating with our selection of activity sheets inspired by Claudia Martínez Garay's exhibition Every seed is awakened.

Claudia Martínez Garay is a Peruvian artist who lives and works between Amsterdam and Lima. She uses painting, sculpture, printmaking, and video to create her art and takes inspiration from her own history as well as images, stories, and sounds from her home country. 

Be inspired by the images from her exhibition below and have fun completing our activity sheets. With them you can design your own tufting, create a coat of arms, make a zine about your country and colour in a vicuna (an animal like an alpaca).

These activity sheets can be found in our Create Space while the exhibition is running or you can download them below and try them at home. If you do give them a go, we'd love to see the results!
