Le Castrum
Le Castrum is an arts festival in Yverdon-Les-Bains in Switzerland. The program of the festival is based on new artistic tendencies, visual & sensorial experiences, innovation, new technologies & interplay. It's an event where art meets architectural & cultural heritage. Exploration, experience & diversity are the magic words.
As a part of Le Castrum festival, 6 childrens invention ideas were brought to life by local experts and makers!
The team at Le Castrum said,
'We discovered the project by a french TV-show and never forgot about it. It was so simple and sensible that it became the perfect creative project to work with children between 7 and 15 years old, even though the festival take place during summer. The next step was to find partners to make it real in Yverdon : schools, exhibition place, jury members and eventually artisans who have to realize 6 of the 200 projects invented by so many pupils in their classes. All the process permitted to collaborate with many people from very different fields and everyone had a huge pleasure to be part of it. And, last but not least, it finally led to a ten weeks exhibition in the Contemporary art Center of the town were all the invention drawings had been displayed next to the 6 productions!'
