The CIAO! Ark

Set Sail 23 - 27 June 2010!
imageThe Ark was created as an exhibition space and performance platform for art works produced by children in ten partner schools across Oxfordshire. It wasdesigned by theatre designer Nomi Everall working in collaboration with Architecture sans Frontieres and children’s ideas were incorporated into the design through workshops conducted in the schools by Nomi and AsF.

The Ark included the kinds of spaces that artists and children wanted to create to display their work. It is an object of beauty, with lighting and sound from clean, green power. The Ark is situated in a ‘Sea of Troubles’ - a visual representation of what children choose to leave behind, from asthma inhalers and air fresheners to values and behaviours that they feel have contributed to environmental problems, such as greed and over consumption.
