Plants not only make our environment more attractive, they also have a high practical value. In summer, they cool our environment and serve as a source of food and medicine. They also provide valuable material for the manufacture of everyday objects. Together with the artists Isa and Najah, the children discovered, harvested, and sowed. They useed the harvested seeds and grasses to create small useful objects.
The workshop was part of the exhibition project Solastalgies by Isa Klee and Najah Zarbout, curated by Christine Bruckbauer
