3 to 7-year-olds as Quides

Upside Down family event overturns traditional roles on Kiasma’s guided tours. On Upside Down day 3 to 7-year-olds from Vironniemi kindergarten, instead of adult guides, tell about their observations on the works in the ARS exhibition.

Before ARS, all the children from the kindergarten have been given in-depth instruction on contemporary art and the work of a museum guide. On Upside Down day, they will show what they have learnt to museum guests of all ages and function as conversation partners in exhibition rooms.

Also part of the programme are non-top workshops by children and youths from Espoo School of Art that will be held in the Kiasma workshop. The workshops are directed at children and adults alike and combine hands-on artistic work with visiting the ARS exhibition.

The pictorial dance group from Vantaa Art School for Children and Young People hold a workshop in the Kiasma seminar room. The workshop is directed at both children and adults and involves reacting to works displayed in the ARS exhibition with movement and dance.
