Coordinating a visit for elementary school students and kindergartens
The activity at the exhibition is suitable for kindergarten and elementary school children. The activity includes gallery games and work in a personal box that each child will receive, offering an experience of discovery and creating connections, understanding the concept of a city portrait, a personal portrait and a representative object. Through the belongings of the city’s residents, we experience a fascinating journey to a different kind of art – art that shares with the audience, which takes an active part in the musical action. Many of the exhibitors in this exhibition are children and this is an opportunity to examine how the young audience sees themselves in the cultural-urban fabric and which objects were chosen to best represent their personality.
