A (school) children's project that runs parallel to the art exhibition "Duck Residence", which takes place on the Viborg lakes. The theme of the project is Residens, which means residence or dwelling. The children will try to build "Duck Residences", which will be launched.
We start by talking about and exploring what it means to belong? What it means to have a home? How do they live themselves, everyday and holidays, people and animals, Denmark and abroad? Have they tried moving - what makes people move?
The children have to build duck houses out of empty milk cartons based on their imagination and research about how differently people can live. These models will then be launched, as an addition to the "Duck Residence" exhibition.
Milk cartons have similarities to the bricks and blocks of Minecraft, the game every child knows. However, milk cartons are more accessible. They learn about sustainability by using milk cartons, which then get extra "life" by having a use beyond being milk containers before being thrown away.
The children try out construction, modelling and reproduction of everyday objects, which they can work on further.
