An immersive journey for girls and boys aged 5 to 9 will be held on Saturday 15 April at 4 pm at the Museum of Chinese Art and Ethnography, Parma
The great human migrations are always accompanied by songs: a reason for identity and pride, a melodic instrument of comfort, a vehicle of communication, a cultural code.
Saturday April 15th at 4 pm in the spaces of our Museum, thanks to the fascinating mix of distant cultures, an immersive journey entitled "Singing for the world in search of the tiger" will take place which will involve children as they will enhance everyone's individual sensations, so as to make this experience unique and precious for each little participant, thanks to the emotion of singing, storytelling and travelling.
The experience in the museum will follow the path of the museum's ethnographic collections, starting from the Amazon area, continuing in Africa and ending in the wonderful imperial China.
At the end we will witness the choral performance of a Lakota song, typical of Native Americans. Afterwards, the children will be able to participate in a small snack offered by the Museum..
The entire itinerary is curated, and will be conducted by Silvia Tòfani, librarian and expert in childhood narratives.
“The great project of enhancement of the Chinese Art Museum continues - says Chiara Allegri, director of the Museum - which sees a fundamental point in bringing children closer to the cultures of the world. Furthermore, songs, narrations, symbols and every intangible and immaterial cultural element are structural elements of our collections: events like this have a high transmission capacity, allowing them to be saved in a globalizing context".
Silvia Tòfani continues: “Reading a good book can be compelling so as to allow our imagination to engage and take flight, but it rarely overwhelms us. This experience is designed to prioritize immediacy and perception because immersion requires us to submit to our senses. The transmission of culture is not just a matter of feeling, but also a way to know and understand the world in all its facets".
