The Young Curators in Tampere, Finland started their creative process in April by reading stories, engaging in discussions and participating in workshops. The process inspired them to design the “art workshop in a suitcase”, to encourage school children to participate in the Water Drop.
Inside the suitcases were instructions such as character building and requests for watercolor paintings to be included in the Young Curators’ November exhibition.
The video clip below was made by Finnish Young Curators Maisa, Minni and Inkku to inform school children about the project. Four stories were picked to be part of the suitcases (from each Water Drop author) and workshops were created in connection with each suitcase.
Following this, the Young Curators inspired schools to go outside and find a natural object (plant, tree, rock etc.), and imagine them to be alive, envision how they would move and talk to each other. This activity was arranged as a main workshop for schools in connection with the suitcases. The final result was the Water Drop art exhibition “Life on land” which opened in November 2022. The exhibition, curated by the Young Curators, included the children’s artwork from the workshop.
