An engaging workshop in dialogue with the artworks of the SOLARPUNK exhibition. The installations lead us to envision a future where we can’t have access to the warmth of the sun or be in the open air, thereby turning to light therapy. Picturing a future where directly observing the sunlight is impossible, the young participants in the workshop will create a visual repository of the sun. A collection of drawings to depict the various shades of the sun during the day. An original insight seen through the always original and authentic perspective of children.

With this activity, girls and boys will be encouraged to reflect on the vital importance of the sun and sunlight for our survival on planet Earth. We’ll explore how we can respect our planet by making sustainable choices. Divided into different workstations, children will be asked to leave to future generations an artistic repository of drawings of the sun made with different artistic techniques and materials. They will be encouraged to give different interpretations of the Sun, and their artworks will be hung on a large wall, one next to the other, shaping a collective repository of luminous creations.
