Homayoon (age 8) from Teheran dreams of becoming an astronaut. Elham (age
9) from Amsterdam wants to teach in a mosque. These children have introduced
themselves on the website Kids-at-Iran.nl. As did Maryam (9, from Teheran,
with her head traditionally covered) and Abdelmouhen (9, from Amsterdam), who
both hope to become dentists. Kids-at-Iran.nl is a cultural exchange project
that got off to a festive start in February. Children in Amsterdam and Teheran
communicate about the things they experience in everyday life. They tell about
their lives on the website. They also express their ideas and experiences by
means of photography, animation, painting, sculpting and video letters, with
assistance from artists and teachers. In time, part of the website will be
exhibited in the KTI Tropenmuseum and in the Children's Museum of Kanoon in
Teheran.
Kids-at-Iran.nl is a project by the Tropenmuseum Junior, made
possible by subsidies from the Mondriaan Foundation and NCDO,
and sponsored by Shell Development Iran. The project is a spin-off
of Paradise & Co, the exhibition about Iran by
Tropenmuseum Junior in the KIT.
