DiplomArt
For people with a refugee background
The DiplomArt mediation format took place for the first time in autumn 2021.
Every Wednesday between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., the Studio, the mediation room at Kunsthalle Zürich, offers DiplomArt participants a creative safer space. All costs are covered by Kunsthalle Zürich.
At DiplomArt, we draw the participants out from their everyday lives. Art is used as a universal language that can be applied in a wide range of forms. Various techniques, creative tools and media are used. The graphic tools and methods are based on the preferences and interests of the participants. The focus lies on joint and individual processes. This meeting platform in the Kunsthalle Zürich Studio works in an integrative and participatory way. The participants themselves decide whether or not an exhibition is ultimately created that is be open to the public, just as much as they decide what is exhibited.
An important part of DiplomArt is cooking and eating together, which generates a community.
Cool-Tur
Autumn holiday activity for children between 7 and 12 years old
You don't have to travel to discover new worlds.
Play, fun, knowledge and encounters with artists in week-long full-day courses.
Children meet artists and are creative themselves. The Cool-Tur holiday programme offers fun, games, knowledge and creative work. Two to three cultural institutions in the city of Zurich work in tandem to create a colourful and varied holiday programme, organised by the association kulturvermittlung-zh.
Cultural sites should be accessible to all!
We grant 50% off the course costs to holders of Kultur-Legi. Participants receive a VBZ ticket for zone 110 for the duration of the course. Children with little knowledge of German as well as children with physical disabilities are welcome.
Studio: Stell dir vor...
... the colourful materials collection of the mediation workshop is at your disposal. What kind of artworks could be created through the combination of different techniques and materials? The studio is open to everyone and the session is accompanied by an art educator.
Contribution towards costs: CHF 5
Klasse Kuratieren
The aim of Klasse Kuratieren is to develop an exhibition. In collaboration with a class from
primary or secondary schools in Zürich, the exhibition is developed in a workshop alternating between Kunsthalle Zurich and the participating school. Over the course of a semester, structured as a project-based course lasting several weeks, half- or full-day workshops are held every three weeks, each developing from the previous one. The total duration of the project is 15 school days. The project closes with an exhibition opening.
Was glauben die eigentlich? SMS Tool
«Was glauben die eigentlich?» (What do they really believe?) was a mediation offer for visitors to Kunsthalle Zürich: questions about the exhibitions at the Kunsthalle Zürich could be asked via SMS.
Through dialogue with the Kunsthalle Zürich, visitors produced an archive in which knowledge was shared. Comments, questions and answers were then displayed in the art education Studio. Part of the archive was published online. All contributions remained anonymous - in the hope that comments and questions would arise that, face to face, might be formulated differently or never voiced.
