Info
At the Open Atelier edition for KiKS Unterwegs, participants can explore the world of flying objects by creating their own flying contraptions using simple materials. Taking inspiration from the Argentine artist Tomás Saraceno, old plastic bags and other materials are used to make kites, gliders and experimental flying machines that are set in motion solely by wind, thermal currents and solar energy.
The Children’s Culture Summer, KiKS, has been running since 2007. KiKS provides a public space for cultural activities aimed at, and – above all – cultural productions created by children and young people, making them more visible.
The KiKS year always begins in January with a public call to find as many partners as possible to bring KiKS to life with their activities. The group of organisers also contributes significantly to the success of the programme with their own activities and acts as a point of contact for anyone wishing to get involved. In this way, KiKS is created in collaboration with over 100 partner organisations and well over 500 children and young people. It is a network that operates on behalf of and in collaboration with the departments responsible for cultural education (Department of Social Affairs, Department of Culture, Department of Education and Sport).
KiKS consists of three components: It begins with KiKS Unterwegs, featuring events throughout the city. This is followed by the KiKS Festival at the Alte Messe, centred around Schneckenplatz on the Theresienhöhe. There, participants play, hammer, play sports, film, research, print, programme and much more together. The KiKS-Blende, the “reflective” online magazine, is the third component of KiKS.
KiKS also sees itself as a network where those involved in cultural education come together to advance a shared vision: to highlight and bring to life the importance of cultural practice among children and young people in all its forms!
