The Project behind The Stories That Make Us
4 week project & children art exhibition & a published book
 
Over 70 children from our children art studio, Art Wonderland, were invited to dive into the world of folktales whilst being inspired to spin narratives that reflect their understanding of good and evil. Who will their heroes be and what will evil look like? What kind of actions demonstrate honesty and kindness, and what distinguishes good and bad?
 
By examining the relationship between traditional tales and present-day narratives - The Stories That Make Us offers a glimpse into how these stories have influenced our children, how they have shaped us and what we will carry forward.
