International artists and children are once again turning the Japanisches Palais in Dresden into a place of the future for nine months. The focus of the 3rd Children's Biennale of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen (SKD) is on visions of peace, community, sustainability and global justice, as well as tolerance and community. "It is the question of how we can shape the world and make it a better place," said curator Anna Aulich on Thursday. The exhibition concept is also based on the dreams, wishes and ideas of 130 children's advisory boards from second to sixth grade from schools in the city on the Elbe. They had very concrete ideas about the future, which they reflected on and also researched the SKD collections.
"Planet Utopia" in the Barockpalais will open with a big party on International Children's Day (Saturday) and is free of admission. In ten rooms of the 18th century building, works of art are installed that touch on feelings, empathy and natural phenomena, as well as social and political issues. Traditionally, interaction is also expected.
