We are launching a new educational project for teenagers aged 14 to 17, inclusive, who live in Dnipro, are interested in art, and want to try different forms of artistic communication.
“Co-creation” is about a shared space for interaction and creativity, in which young people can learn more about themselves, about the cultural background on which they grow up, and about institutions that can be visited while traveling around Ukraine. We strive to encourage teenagers to dialogue, help them find like-minded people and expand the circle of live communication, which is currently sorely lacking; to show that culture and art are much closer to each of us and manifest themselves in everything, influencing our entire lives, than it seems.
The project aims to deepen teenagers’ knowledge of Ukrainian art and inspire them to create a collective artistic expression. In this educational course, we will move away from the lecture format and focus on practice — a series of workshops with invited experts are planned, who will introduce program participants to various media through which they can express themselves and convey their thoughts — these are performative action, printing on fabric, sound and video. There will also be several additional activities: mobile exercises, creating an art map of Ukraine, visiting the Artsvit gallery’s storage and getting to know our collection of artworks.
The program starts on October 12. The course consists of 10 classes (every Saturday at 12:00) and will end with a presentation of a collective project in early December.
Classes will be held at Krutohirny Uzviz, 21a, Artsvit Gallery. Entrance through the glass sliding doors from the side of Uspenskaya Square.
Admission is free
