THE MEMORY HOUSE WORKSHOP

During 8 weeks a group of 16 children (5 to 15 years old) from Angola, Congo and Burundi were gathered around the idea of creating an exhibition dealing with their ideas about home. Through different media (recycled cardboard, photography,clay) the children created and decorated houses for a collective village. A main goal of the workshop was to expose the children to different spaces and people in Johannesburg, in order to stem a sense of belonging to it.
