Yesterday we went to find Pegasus, a Congolese actor, says that when not working at the museum of African Urgnano (BG). Pegas has taken us around the museum.
I'll tell.
The space is very large and composed of several rooms.
There are workshops, where students of elementary and secondary schools, they may experience through role-playing game, the lives of African children in the villages. Children wearing traditional dress and following a path made of small huts and shops, learn the trades that carry the African children: Adjust the bicycle wheels, hoe the garden, they bring food and water in the huts, looking for useful things in landfill, collect fruits and vegetables, shine your shoes ...
In another room, live in the village gatherings. Pegas dress headman, taught him to play percussion.
In the laboratory of body painting, then color and decorate their bodies with flowers, and learn that art is fleeting, we can and must cancel, when its use ritual is over.
Finally, in the museum itself, the children look at the artifacts, statues, masks, fabrics of African art and play to notice the differences with Western art.
It 's a smart way to bring the children to distant cultures.
pity that such a museum there is also in Milan.
Here is the link to the site:
