Seventeen drawings in the courtyard of the Stadtgalerie Saarbrücken show the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals from the perspective of children. The illustrations were created in workshops that arcs audio conducted at the Eschberg elementary school. The project was developed in close cooperation with the Stadtgalerie Saarbrücken and its director Katharina Ritter.
Because children's perspectives on the future of the world need a public platform.
In 2022, for the Stadtgalerie Saarbrücken, everything revolves around the possibilities of equitable transformation through the cultural sector. For the installation in the courtyard, art educator Saskia Riedel (arcs audio) had the idea of drawing the 17 sustainability goals together with children and then displaying them in the light boxes in the courtyard.
The students created the drawings entirely on their own. Saskia Riedel accompanied the process in classroom workshops and then digitized the analog illustrations.
In the light boxes in the courtyard of the Stadtgalerie, visitors can now see the results and are encouraged by the illustrations to think about the 17 goals.
The artists of the drawings are: Aaradhya, Aghayd, Anass, Cataleya, Dustin, Gülbin, Jasmina, Jeremy, Kyrylo, Lana, Lea, Lilli, Mara, Mykyta, Mohammad, Nima, Rabie, Rayhana, San.
