The exhibit “L’occhio
se salta il muro – Ipotesi per una didattica
della visione” (When the Eye Jumps Over the
Wall – Hypothesis for a Didactic of Vision)
is shown in Reggio Emilia, a testimony to the work
carried out in the Municipal Infant-toddler Centers
and Preschools of Reggio Emilia. The exhibit is
also offered as the statement of a way of working
with project-based thinking; a sort of verification,
both internal and public, of what had been produced
in these institutions as a result of their pedagogical
and expressive research. The design and organization
of the exhibit, and the exhibit itself, provide
an important tool for the professional development
and updating of teachers, atelieristas, and pedagogistas. |

“L’occhio se salta il
muro” goes to Stockholm: the showing at the
Moderna Museet, accompanied by a Swedish television
documentary and the interest of educators, journalists,
and writers of Stockholm, extends the notoriety
of the exhibit also to the other side of the Atlantic.
This first encounter between different experiences
and cultures represents a precious opportunity for
reflection and for revisiting the exhibit in terms
of both content and communicative structures. |

Redesigned and duplicated, the exhibit
is given the new title “The Hundred Languages
of Children – Narrative of the Possible. Proposals
from the Children of the Municipal Preschools of
Reggio Emilia.”
Two versions, one European and one for North America,
begin a parallel journey on the two continents.
Each showing is accompanied by professional development
initiatives, meetings, seminars, and conferences,
which help to expand and deepen the dialogue between
the various educational experiences and that of
Reggio Emilia. |

The new European version of the
exhibit is shown in Reggio Emilia, with additional
interactive parts. The inauguration is presided
over by Luciano Corradini, under-secretary of the
Italian Ministry of Education. |

The exhibit entitled “De Kinderen
van Reggio Emilia” (The Children of Reggio
Emilia) is shown at the Stedelijk Museum of Amsterdam;
it is an original interpretation of the narrative
structure of the Hundred Languages exhibit, the
result of a shared experience of pedagogical and
cultural exchange between the Municipal Infant-toddler
Centers and Preschools of Reggio Emilia, Reggio
Children, and three important Dutch organizations:
the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdams Fonds voor de Kunst
(Amsterdam Fund for the Arts), and Stichting Pedagogiekontwikkeling
voor het jonge kind (Foundation for the Educational
Development of the Young Child). |

An analogous experience of reinterpreting
the exhibit is carried out in France on occasion
of the showing at the Musée de l’Objet
in the city of Blois. The adaptations made in Amsterdam
and Blois demonstrate the continuous evolution of
the exhibit and its aim to offer a context and an
opportunity for research.
Also in 2000, work is completed on the updating
of the North American version of the exhibit and
the digitization of the panels in both this and
the European version. The computerization process,
which enables the translation of the texts into
different languages as well as easier duplication
and greater simplicity in shipping, makes it possible
for the exhibit to be shown simultaneously in several
countries. |

| 2001 |
|
|
This is perhaps the most intense
year so far for “The Hundred Languages of
Children” exhibit: it is shown in the United
States, Japan, Hong Kong, Australia, Chile, and
Luxembourg, a truly new experience of contemporaneous
showings. |
