DreamRiders - Workshop #3 bij Kunstinstituut Melly

DreamRiders is an art project for and with young people from across the country who have been affected by the Child Benefit Scandal. In a series of three art workshops, participants explore how personal experiences can be translated into art and shared with a wider audience. The workshops form the basis for an art installation that will open in The Hague in 2027. Drawing on their own stories, the young people work on so-called Dream Tools: sculptural art objects that visualize their experiences, messages, and dreams for the future. Lessons for the Netherlands are also distilled from their experiences, which will later be shared with administrators, civil servants, journalists, and aid workers, among others. Workshop 3 – Dream Tools focuses on making. Based on the previous workshops, participants design and build their own Dream Tools. Additionally, through theatre and movement exercises, they practice how to convey their message. After the workshop series, the developed lessons from the Scandal will be shared during public gatherings in the Netherlands. The Dream Tools and video works serve as the starting point for this and will ultimately become part of the art installation in The Hague. Participation is free; reservations are required.
