RELAY STORIES, GIVING VOICE TO ARCHIVE PHOTOS

24.10

Workshop curated by Eleonora Lombardi
10:15–11:30 • 15:15–16:30 Villa Ghirlanda Silva Park, Cinisello Balsamo Relay Stories is an intergenerational workshop that uses stock photography as a narrative device to activate creative writing in children and bring adults closer to the practice of storytelling. Set in the historical park of Villa Ghirlanda Silva in Cinisello Balsamo, the project transforms the historical images of the city, of the Museum of Contemporary Photography, into visual triggers to build a collective story: each parent-child group elaborates a part of the story, with characters, context, action, time, until the final return through a performative reading. The format integrates graphic-visual tools with play and teaching, allowing children to discover the history of the place and adults to rediscover their imagination and dig into their memories. The aim is to make languages such as graphics and photography accessible to children and to strengthen the link between community and cultural heritage, transforming the park into a space of relationship, memory and collective imagination. How to register for the workshop will be communicated soon.
