Friendship School Exhibition: Breathing Space

Where do you find peace when the world feels overwhelming? The 5th grade at Danvik School has explored this theme through the project «Friendship School.» Together with artist Mari Eriksen and the museum’s educators, the students transform personal sanctuary spaces, such as grandma’s porch, the soccer field, or the ski slope, into art. The students have used the tufting technique to create the textiles, which are sewn together into a large tent – a physical breathing space where you can lower your shoulders and breathe with your stomach.

Outside the tent are sculptures made of different materials that the students have collaborated on. They express different emotions. Can you recognize any of the emotions?

The exhibition runs until May 19th.
