Featuring everyday objects turned into illustrated narratives
How often do we pause to really take in our surroundings? Which objects lie all around us? What kinds of things do we look at everyday that we might start to see differently? A sink, ripened fruit, a lamp, a doorway, clothing or a piece of furniture?
Throughout the Festival, we invite you to capture these objects with your phone or camera and share a photo with us. Each week of the festival, our Art Director Miriam Sugranyes will then reimagine these objects into illustrations that tell the narrative of children’s rights.
