Vernissage of the "Pieces of Us" exhibition
The City has officially unveiled "Pieces of Us", an exhibition created by children from Day Care, an after-school childcare centre run by arcus ASBL, in collaboration with the City's Creative Learning Centre (Centre d'animation pédagogique et de loisirs – CAPEL), which is part of the Service Foyers scolaires (Childcare Department).
Inspired by the different activity rooms at Day Care and the wide range of materials available to the children, "Pieces of Us" explores the idea of patchwork: bringing together a variety of individual elements to create something unique as a group. From the initial design to the finishing touches, the children actively took part every step of the way. Everyone was able to add their own personal touch, and express their creativity and imagination, while collaborating with others toward a shared vision.
Through the works on display, "Pieces of Us" highlights both the individuality of each child and the bonds that are formed every day within the childcare center. Each artwork captures an idea, an emotion, an experience or a discovery, offering a glimpse into the children's world and how they see it.
On display until January 2027 in "Tunnel am Gronn", leading to the elevator connecting the Grund to Ville Haute, the exhibition invites visitors to discover how children see the world around them, and to share in their curiosity and creativity.
