Joint summer city art project for deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing children of deaf parents with Ya Ponimayu Center

Date

Place

Garage Museum of Contemporary Art

DESCRIPTION

For five days, participants, together with a team of tutors and artists, will immerse themselves in the world of sensations and feelings. They will be studying all aspects of human perception and create art objects aimed at stimulating each perception system. The program also features team games, readings, and conversations on the subject of the day, as well as walks in the park.

Each day comprises two blocks of classes: interactive lectures and organized games in the morning, followed by creative art making in the afternoon.

Participants will discuss various channels of information perception (sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell) and will learn more—through interactive lectures and team games—about the organs of perception, the influence of color, aromas, sounds, and space on the perception of art. Taking the role of an artist, meanwhile, will allow them to create their own pieces.

This project was implemented with the support of Garage Endowment Fund.
