Eu, na minha cidade

WITH TÂNIA DINIS

(6-12 years old)

In this workshop, the participants will focus on the differences that unite us. We will reflect on diversity, empathy, and democracy. 
Who are we in our city? 
To accomplish this, we will integrate diverse artistic mediums such as photography, painting, and cinema. Through the manipulation of family archive slides, we will conduct artistic experiments by employing collages, paint, words, and sounds. Ultimately, we will create an imaginative portrayal of us in our city.
