CaccHho CucchhA will be activated through children’s free play and a series of artist-led playshops. These sessions are facilitated by Mercedes Azpilicueta herself, Antonella Fittipaldi, Anna Klas, Lina Bravo Mora, Raoni Muzho Saleh, Gļeb(s) Maiboroda and Vere van der Veen, and will explore the exhibition through storytelling, dwelling-making, weaving, sound-making, and planting. Since this is a child centered exhibition, rather than being guided or instructed, children will be accompanied, with activities adapted to their collective rhythms, needs, and desires. The playshops are open to children aged 4–12. Adults are expected to participate in the play activities.

The activities will be mostly concentrated on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays between 3 October and 22 November. Fridays will be for visits from Schools and BSOs. Wednesday afternoons and Saturdays, the general public are invited to participate with their children.
