At the 4th Istanbul Children and Youth Art Biennial, held from 19 April to 23 May, the TEMA Foundation will run a series of workshops for children at Antrepo 1.
As part of the Istanbul Children and Youth Art Biennial, organised for the fourth time this year by Palet Culture, Art and Education Association (PALETDER) under the concept “Wake-up Call: Good Morning”, the TEMA Foundation will run a series of workshops for children of different age groups at Antrepo 1.
Among the TEMA Foundation workshops, “Need or Want?”, to be held on 3 May from 10:30 to 12:30, is for children aged 10 and over. Opening up the question ‘How much of what we buy is a need, and how much is unnecessary?’ for discussion, the session will look closely, with the children’s participation, at how objects are used and how they become waste, and will review individual habits.
As part of the Biennial, the TEMA Foundation’s workshop “Let’s Get to Know Our Local Tree” will be held on 4 May from 10:30 to 12:30 for children aged 6 and over. Focusing on recognising and telling trees apart, the session will cover tree species, the trees of Turkey, collecting leaves and distinguishing between species. In the Foundation’s workshop on 11 May from 13:00 to 15:00, children aged 14 and over will explore the theme of the “Web of Life”. For registration and bookings: www.cocukgenclikbienal.org
Note to editors
Creating the right climate for raising creative new generations,
The Istanbul Children and Youth Art Biennial, organised for the fourth time this year by Palet Culture, Art and Education Association (PALETDER), is held in institutional partnership with the Istanbul Provincial Directorate of National Education and Türkiye Eğitim Gönüllüleri Vakfı (TEGV), with the support of the Beyoğlu and Beşiktaş municipalities.
The Istanbul Children and Youth Art Biennial creates a space for sharing grounded in multiculturalism on a global scale, enabling different geographies and cultures to be expressed through the eyes and aesthetics of children. Children and young people, who can create work in many fields at the Biennial, from performance to dance and from video art to sculpture, also lead the way in building effective intercultural communication.
Enriched by the exhibitions, concerts, events and workshops of students on their way to becoming the producers and audiences of arts and culture of the future, the Istanbul Children and Youth Art Biennial is followed by a wide audience of writers, artists, art lovers, teachers, students, parents and members of the press. Previous Biennials, held at a variety of venues across Istanbul including its ferries, squares, railway stations, warehouses, galleries and museums, have been visited by 160,000 people.
