Kids are Kids after All
An exhibition on intangible cultural heritage and peace education
KIDS ARE KIDS AFTER ALL is an immersion in the struggles and joys of displaced Ukrainian children looking for a new beginning in Romania through the reconnection with the intangible cultural heritage of their homeland. Culture provides us with a sense of identity, and we undeniably have first to learn who we are before relating to the Other.
This exhibition offers five windows into the participatory reconnection of Ukrainian children with their intangible cultural heritage. They are developed by artists from different countries and the displaced Ukrainian children themselves, guided by their trainers, to propose a message of peace. Despite challenges, displaced children continue to learn, grow and bridge cultures with their innate curiosity and resilience, because kids are kids, after all.
The exhibition is curated by the RHE Initiative. It is an outcome of the project “Community-based teaching and learning of Ukraine’s living heritage in Romania”, funded by the Intangible Cultural Heritage Fund of UNESCO and implemented by the Jesuit Refugee Service – JRS Romania.
