The “Ich habe etwas zu sagen” (I have something to say) project was a joint initiative between the Mierscher Kulturhaus and CooperationsArt Wiltz, an interdisciplinary and inclusive network of artists, some of whom have disabilities.
As part of CooperationsArt’s “Vis-à – Vis Reloaded” exhibition, the Mierscher Kulturhaus organised artistic and creative workshops for primary school classes. Around a hundred pupils had the opportunity to work with artists from the CooperationsART collective, creating paintings, drawings and texts together. The children responded freely and imaginatively to the works on display. They were able to talk openly with the artists, who showed them the different techniques, processes and methods they use.
This project allowed the children to experience inclusion through active participation, and to engage in something unknown while expressing themselves artistically. The works created by the child-artist pairs subsequently became part of the existing exhibition, and were presented at a vernissage at the Mierscher Kulturhaus attended by pupils, artists, teachers and parents.
