As part of Ocean Space's 2024 exhibition program, "Re-Stor(y)ing Oceania" curated by Taloi Havini, and in collaboration with LAS Art Foundation, with the exhibition "Josèfa Ntjam: Swell of spæc(i)es", the educational department offers a series of four workshops for children and students (aged 3 to around 25), with an intergenerational and intersectional approach through which participants can discover and learn about the marine microcosm.
Each session is introduced by a scientist, followed by a workshop where participants will be guided in (re)creating a zoomarine environment, experimenting with various artistic techniques. Activities are led by young artists and performers, fostering intergenerational exchange and peer tutoring. The "exhibition space" becomes a poetic place for collective reflection. The series concludes with a final event at the end of September.
The Ocean, with its interspecies, represents the origin of life in all of its many forms.
A proposal to gain new knowledge with an innovative and fun approach.
Who will be the inhabitants of Zoomarino?
ZOOMARINO. FROM THE ORIGINS OF LIFE TO THE JUNGLE OF THE SEA
September 18 – Final Session
Location: Academy of Fine Arts
Time: 9:30am - 1:30pm
Call to action!
Like a relay race, the drawings created by the children participating in the previous workshops will be passed into the hands of the young students and artists partecipating in the workshop. Guided by motion designer and creator of the participatory art project Zoographer, Matteo Stocco, we will work on the digital animation of the children's drawings.
The goal is to build a large digital "Zoomarino" with illustrations of phytoplankton and zooplankton. The animations will come to life in an installation/performance on September 28 at Ocean Space, where the projections of the marine inhabitants will be displayed on the church facade.
Participats are required to use a tablet or PC and have skills in Photoshop and Illustrator. Further details will be provided to registered participants.
If you are a student of drawing and related disciplines or a young artist and would like to participate in the digital animation workshop please send an email to education@ocean-space.org.
