CHILDREN-SPECTATORS EXHIBITION #4
15/03 - 31/05
There is a big difference between illustrating moments of theatre, dance or circus, and filtering those moments, those fragments, seeing them through the eyes or emotions of a child, focusing on the richness of the moments in which a child-spectator captures images, sounds and words of quality in order to feed their imagination. One of Mapping’s goals is to create a high-quality interaction between performing arts and the world of illustration and children’s literature.
The international call launched by Bologna Children’s Book Fair collected 721 proposals by illustrators from 65 different countries worldwide.
The Jury – made up of Roberto Frabetti (Teatro La Baracca – Testoni Ragazzi, Jury Chairman), Giovanna Ballin (Edizioni Corraini), Giorgia Grilli (University of Bologna), Philip Giordano (illustrator), selected 36 illustrations, 36 illustrators from twenty countries.
