Hidden Figures: Look, I am Here!

Pera Kids
Ages 7-12

  • August 10, 2023 / 10:30

Children tour the exhibition online in 3D and discover how Isabel Muñoz photographs figures and how she utilizes light and shadow while doing so. Then, the children paint the figures that interest them the most in the exhibition, imagining how they might have been hidden under the ground before they were brought to light, and design a three-dimensional object. The children make the figures hidden in the pictures and experience that a narrative can have more than one side with an object in a colourful way.
