Projects of our students are exhibited at Arts Biennial.

Project of our NUN Primary School students which is called “Transformation” and project of our NUN Girls School Ceramics Club which is called “I’m here” are being exhibited at 5th İstanbul Children and Youth Arts Biennial!

This year, we are also a part of 5^th Istanbul Child and Youth Arts Biennial which aims to ensure that children all over the world aged 4 to 18 should be engaged with modern arts and they should produce. This exhibition also ensures that these works of art reach a qualified audience. 

Theme of the project for this year is “Now and Here”. NUN Primary School students participated in the biennial with their “Transformation” project. Our students want to call attention to the fact that composting waste will be a significant step to find solutions to the environmental problems. To this end, they produced a stop motion film which demonstrates how an orange, which is an organic waste, can be recycled.

Ceramic club which consist of our 5^th graders and high school prep year students in NUN Girls School also had a project. The starting point for our students was the Syrian children who had to leave their countries. They have worked on a project to raise awareness about all children in the world who had to experience the war. Their project is called “I’m Here”. The material of the work is ceramics mud and it is an embossed, round world map. On this map, students demonstrate on cracks the countries where there have been wars, where the war continues, how these wars affect neighbouring countries by using the fracture property of ceramics. Additionally, sound installation is also available. In this recording, children say “I’m here” in their native languages and visitors to the exhibition hear the voices of children from the cracks.

Both of these meaningful projects and works of art produced by students from various schools will be waiting for its visitors until May 23 at MKM Beşiktaş Çağdaş Sanat Galerisi (Besiktas Modern Art Gallery).
