SILENCES_AT SCHOOL: A new way for children to face silence!

  • Ester Rovira Carbonell

ONE WEEK / ONE SCHOOL / TWENTY ARTISTS / FIVE HUNDRED CHILDREN FIVE TYPES OF SILENCE / FIVE RELATIONS OF SILENCE Silences is a global project that wants - in a cultural, social, pedagogical and philosophical way - to establish relationships between art, education and society through silence.

Silences_at School is a series of experiences around silence for pre-school and primary school children in autumn.

The experience takes place during five days in a public preschool and primary school. All classes are stopped, the furniture and decorations are removed from the school and the teachers become spectators along with the students. During this week, we propose seven installations, three performances, four master classes as well as excursions outside of the classroom and community actions. The whole project is conducted by 20 artists and professionals.

Five days to address five different visions of silence: Visual, sound, performative, philosophical and architectural arts.
