CHARCOAL FOR CHILDREN (CFC), a community-based creative workshop for children presented by LagiLagi in collaboration with CushCush Gallery (CCG) is finally back after a one-year break. Due to Covid-19 pandemic which prevent us from gathering and socializing at CCG like we normally do, CFC 2021 is traveling to communities in various Balinese villages instead.
Presenting our 4th theme “Tell Me Tales”, CFC aims to discover and share local stories from the children of different villages. This year’s invited artists feature one collage visual artist, Irene Febry, and two multidisciplinary artists, Juli Sastrawan and ‘Jong’ Santiasa Putra to engage with children in creative workshop sessions that are based on story writing — from rolling an illustrated dice to inspire the children making their own short stories, drawing their own characters with LagiLagi DIY charcoal, to scavenging for materials in their surroundings to make art collages.
Following health protocols, a series of 6 workshops is being held in the period of March – July 2021, in 6 villages.
Marga Ole village, Tabanan
Batuan village, Gianyar
Penglipuran village, Bangli
Serangan
Bengkala village, Buleleng
Senja village, Negara
CFC aims to strengthen the spirit of creativity and collaboration of local communities while still supporting art, design and issues on sustainability.
After completing all the workshops, CFC and the invited artists will take inspiration from the stories and collages created by the children to write an illustrated children’s story book, to be published next year (2022).
