KanenaMellon by the children of Greece
After the first workshop in Maroussi Athens with children "from the ancient city of Corinth".
The Berlin Kreuzberg Biennale has initiated several drawing workshops for children in Greece.
The workshops are realised in collaboration with the Museum of Cycladic Art Athens and several social institutions.
KanenaMellon is greek for NoFuture. The children are invited to make drawings, paintings and objects that reflect their perception of their daily life and their future.
The workshops are both an attempt to give an opportunity to the weakest victims of our european reality to have some days of joyful life and a research on the deep impact that this crisis will have on the development of a future in Europe.
