Thoughts Play Hide and Seek

A Contemporary Art Exhibition for Kids and Adults

The exhibition Gedanken spielen Verstecken provides an answer to the question of a child-friendly approach to contemporary art. Ephra is opening up its unique approach to a wider audience for the first time. Over the past five years, Ephra has accompanied 240 children from 13 Berlin schools to the studios of 64 artists. Asking questions, listening, putting their own experiences into words - the children who take part in the Ephra unterwegs programme practise all of this. In this way, they directly recognise how much art has to do with their everyday lives. The eye-to-eye encounters open up new worlds of thought and perspectives for both the children and the artists. 22 of these artistic positions are presented in the exhibition.
