  • “One must not underestimate what art can do, because art is full of secrets.”

    Ephra on the road-child

  • "Who learned from whom here today?"

    Jay Gard, artist, about Ephra on the road

  • "It's not about handicrafts and not about learning who Picasso was. The children should come into contact with the works that the artists usually show in museums or exhibition halls. They should practise talking, exchanging wishes, fears and goals. Training the ability to relate. Art offers the best starting points for this."

    Birgit Rieger, Tagesspiegel, about Gedanken spielen Verstecken

  • "I went wild in my imagination."

    Ephra on the road-child

  • "The best art comes from artists who can still marvel and explore like the children at Ephra!"

    Lena von Goedeke, artist

  • "The children are given space to develop here, they are valued and seen. What this can achieve is really impressive."

  • "When you see the children running through the Haus Kunst Mitte, enthusiastically explaining individual works and lounging together on the round seat cushion in front of a video work, you immediately understand what this project achieves: Open-mindedness, curiosity, a feeling of connection."

    Birgit Lotze, Berliner Morgenpost, about Gedanken spielen Verstecken

  • "The children get a deep insight into the thoughts and works of the artists and feel that it can also have something to do with them."
