Blue, red, green, pink! Banknote’s can be colorful and their motives as diverse as the world. But, how would the notes look, if children and teens were to design them themselves ?
In the accompanying workshop of the exhibition CASH on the Wall in the Stiftung Kunstforum Berliner Volksbank we will do exactly that and produce our own artistic play money. During a tour together through the exhibition we will first learn about the different approaches of the artists, additionally we will talk about the topic of money in art. In the creative part of the workshop, in the Werkstatt, using material such as self-made stamps, printing blocks made from cellular rubber and everyday materials such as cork, corrugated cardboard and bubble pack we will create individual and colorful bills with your very own motives, names and values. Once they’re dried and cut, you can start an active trade with your own toy money. You can of course take your self-made stamps and toy money back home.
