Place

Garage Museum of Contemporary Art

DESCRIPTION

Deaf and hearing members of Garage UP! teens club take over the Museum and welcome everyone to join in the presentation of their final projects.

Launched in fall 2020, Garage UP! is the Museum's six-month-long project for teenagers aged 14 to 18 years, bringing together deaf children and hearing children of deaf parents. Together with museum educators, the participants explored exhibitions and got acquainted with museum work and professions within the art world.

Over the course of collective work, the group outlined shared values and got to know each other better, all this reflected in the thematic projects they developed intending to "leave a mark" in the history of Garage: for a single day, the guys will "occupy" Garage to speak out about what worries them.

On this day, Garage UP! members will deliver non-boring art mediation introducing their projects, create an interactive installation in the Kids' Studio while also running lectures and masterclasses.
