We are launching a new educational project for teenagers aged 14 to 17 who live in Dnipro, are interested in art, and want to try different forms of artistic communication.
“Co-creation” is about a common space for interaction and creativity, where young people can learn more about themselves, the cultural background they grow up in, and the institutions they can visit while traveling around Ukraine. We aim to encourage teenagers to engage in dialogue, help them find like-minded people and expand the circle of live communication, which is currently very lacking; to show that culture and art are much closer to each of us and manifest themselves in everything, affecting 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 to introduce the program participants to various media through which they can express themselves and convey their thoughts — performative action, fabric printing, sound and video. There will also be several additional activities: physical exercises, creating an art map of Ukraine, visiting the storage of the Artsvit gallery and getting acquainted with our collection of artworks.
The program starts on October 12. The course consists of 10 lessons (every Saturday at 12:00) and will end with a presentation of a collective project in early December.
Classes will be held at 21a Krutohirnyi Uzviz, Artsvit Gallery. Entrance through the glass sliding doors from the side of Uspenska Square.
The entrance is free.
Please note! The number of seats is limited. To participate, you need to register for each class. Every week we will publish a new registration form for the next class, so stay tuned for updates. Participation in the program is free.
