Bárbara Wagner and Benjamin de Burca: Swinguerra
Exhibition
23 September 2021 – 9 January 2022
As part of our project Explorative Art Tours for Kids, we invited our youngest audience members to experience the exhibition Swinguerra by artists Bárbara Wagner and Benjamin de Burca through using their bodies.
Together with contemporary dancer Ingvild Maria Thingnes, kids aged 6-12 used their bodies and instruments to move with the work and reflected on different themes in Swinguerra.
Explorative Art Tours for Kids is a way for kids to explore an exhibition together with working artists in ways more approachable to them than a traditional tour. Here we work to create an art experience on the kids' premises where they can use own knowledge in order to reflect on their meeting with contemporary art and artists.
