Arts Lab 4.0: Month IV, Yavuzhan Gumus - A lot of fun

This month's topic is the Cucuteni civilization. Working on creating the exhibition for this Cucuteni Alternative was interesting to me because we don't know much about this society, we don't have any written sources from their times, except ceramic. I understood that these people didn't fight, they concentrated on art, and they periodically burned their entire settlement. They worked a lot to rebuild their houses. No one has clarified the reason for these events.

This month I went to a new school and shared this information with the students. I explained the building plan of Cucuteni and asked the students to draw a community plan. During the other workshops, I asked them to make houses from clay material and these houses became part of the final product that I presented during the final exhibition. 

It was a lot of fun to work with the students and I can't wait for the next topic. 

Yavuzhan Gumus is from Turkey and he is doing a long-term volunteering project in our organisation, under Arts Lab 4.0, a project funded by the European Solidarity Corps, a programme of the European Union.
