Futuristic city
The ‘École d’art au village’ association is opening
‘Atelier - Galerie Edaav’ (studio-galleries) in different
African countries. The aim is to enable children and
associated artists to conduct an educational and artistic
project that lasts in time. More than twenty ‘École d’art
au village’ have been created and a new one will be
opened in Addis-Ababa (Ethiopia) in 2012.
Here in Lambaréné (Gabon), pupils at the primary
school of Doctor Albert Schweitzer foundation were
asked to work on the two topics ‘Draw nature, draw the
city’. All the children chose nature for their first drawing,
as if the idea of the city appeared remote and abstract
to them. The second drawing session revealed this
futuristic vision of the city.
