Boxwars at MPavilion

Headlining MPavilion's family-friendly summer series, Boxwars are the fun-loving mavericks who make cardboard-based art and mayhem.

For MPavilion, Boxwars are building a full-scale recycled cardboard maze inspired by Tadao Ando’s design. Sometimes the best way to inspire the next generation of makers is to set them on a path through discovery and destruction.

Bookings are recommended for children and their parents or guardians.
