Enchanted words
“Look, Look at the wonder!” Giulia, years 4.6
For the third year, several Reggio Emilia infant-toddler centres, preschools
and primary schools are taking part in the Fotografia Europea
exhibition. This year there is something new: the International
participation of 14 schools of 12 different countries.
Equipped with ultra-sensitive antennas to the world and to things,
children readily question, investigate, re-elaborate and create new
realities: myriad worlds, all enchanted. They find enchantment also
in the medium, the camera, which they use by now with great familiarity,
but which continues to maintain the mystery and fascination
of the first magic lantern.
In this way another language – the photographic language – rightfully
joins among the many expressive languages with which children
construct spaces of thought and emotions. |

A
journey of study and reflection making
it possible to re-read and critically interpret
the work of recent years with children in
Reggio Emilia’s comunal infant-toddler
centres and preschools.
Projects have
been chosen from the various exhibitions
created between 1981 and the present day;
from If the Eye
Jumps Over the Wall to successive
versions of The
Hundred Languages of Children, from
Children, Art and Artists to the
latest Wonder
of Learning exhibition.
The projects, shown here in their original
communicative form, are complete with paper,
video and digital material for deeper study.

“The
times of time” photographic exhibition
children from the infant-toddler center to the primary
school |
|
| |
 |
|
The Cultural
Office of the Municipality of Reggio
Emilia and Reggio
Children, in collaboration
with the Istituzione
of the Infant-toddler
Centers and Preschools and
Reggio
Scuola, starting last year
promoted
an experimental project on the theme
of the photographic image. The
project involved children from infant-toddler
center to primary school age, who
used the photographs they took to
express their images of time.
|
|
These images
speak of the times within time: many and different,
perceived and measured, awaited. Times that
are broken down into many other times, each
with its own passing, at times parallel. There
are times of people and times of things. And
there are many ideas of time, the many interpretations
of time.
Nothing is so fleeting, so elusive, as time.
To grasp an idea of time, children make use
of metaphors, spatial figures, and similes,
where it appears cyclically connected to the
dynamic nature of matter, energy, and thought.

| the
mysterious glance of children on the city |
|
|
| |
The
exhibition called The
mysterious glance of children on the city
carries on in the exhibition
hall “Marco Gerra”: children
between 2 and 10 years old tell, through their own
photos, the identity of some places in the city
of Reggio Emilia |
|
|
|
| Dialogue
with Places |
|
The suggestion for this project came
from another project in the city entitled
“An Invitation to…”
in which five important artists created
contemporary works of art in five different
places around the city. Children and
teachers in Reggio infant-toddler centres
and preschools explored the International
Centre while work was still partially
underway choosing areas of the Centre
interesting to them and designing a
work/a gift conceived in empathy and
dialogue with the chosen places. They
respected the place’s identity
while intervening on it and causing
it to modify.
The children’s journey sets in
motion many processes; creative, sympathetic,
cognitive and draws these into a design/project
approach which tends to oppose widespread
attitudes of dis-engagement and indifference
in the same way that it tends to refuse
passive and uncritical acceptance of
poor quality environments. It is our
hope that an approach which is sensitive
to surroundings can be a positive element
for participation, for solidarity and
awareness towards others and the environment. |
