Cecylia Malik
Search for treasure
Cecylia Malik will run special classes in public spaces during the ArtBoom Festival, for a group of around 20 children aged 5-12. The Search for treasure workshop will have a form of an outdoor game referring to plays from the artist’s childhood. It will be an amazing opportunity to see the slightly forgotten, although situated near the city centre, areas of the Krakow Salwator. The Salwator hill, on account of an unclear legal situation, has become squalid and has been forgotten.
Children will see it, first of all, as an adventure, during which they will rebuild a ruined city, meet a fairy, square up to pirates and for all inhabitants of Krakow it will be an opportunity to recall beautiful and inspiring places in their city. Such transformation of the surrounding reality is possible thanks to the power of our imagination. First, we make it through play and then – through art. Searching for treasure will make the children realise that a different point of view, a little bit of creativity and faith is all it takes to change the world around us – to become an artist.
