Art for the Memory
Art not only transforms objects, but also consciences. Participants will give new life to photographs of war objects, turning them into artistic expressions that promote peace and harmony in everyday life. Through this exercise, they will also reflect on the impact of military expenditure on education, social welfare, etc.
Transform weapons of war through art, in figures of peace.
The necessary materials are provided by the Museum.
