Kids' Guernica and Rebirth Project Collaboration at Habana, Cuba


May 31, 2015  During the 12th Havana Biennale in Cuba, Kids’ Guernica collaborated with an Italian famous artist, Michelangelo Pistoletto’s Rebirth/ Third Paradise project. A unique symbol image of Rebirth/ Third Paradise was drawn on a Picasso’s Guernica size canvas when Savina Tarsitano, Ambassador of Michelangelo Pistoletto’s project, organized a Kids’ Guernica exhibition in her home town, Lamezia Terme, Italy last March. Savina brought the canvas to Havana and Cuban children painted some part of the canvas. This collaborative canvas will be sent to Japan and Japanese children will continue to paint on it. In such a way, this canvas will be traveling in the world. The process of completing a peace image on the whole canvas is accord with the aim of the both Kids’ Guernica and Rebirth/ Third paradise, which require artistic imagination and creativity.
