EDUCATIONAL CURATORS
With the purpose of creating greater awareness, the Ocupação Zuzu Angel is organizing educational interventions in the exhibition galleries to encourage visitors to reflect on the designer's production and the country during that time period.

EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES
A series of activities, workshops and poetic activities aimed at the audience developed by the Education and Relationship department as part of the Ocupação Zuzu program.

TARGET AUDIENCE: CHILDREN/FAMILIES
The activities are called WORKSHOPS and evoke the playful aspect of the studio. The main goal is to try out techniques and materials related to the everyday life of fashion.

1. CREATION WORKSHOPS

Workshops for children: Printing
This workshop is focused on experimentation. Using works by Zuzu Angel as inspiration, children are invited to explore artisanal printing techniques, such as the stamp and stencil, and create their own works. The goal is to experiment with paints, colors, shapes and patterns to reflect on what we communicate through clothes and prints. The prints can be applied to clothing items brought by the audience or on pieces of fabric provided during the activity.

April 5th and 6th, at 2 pm
May 3rd , at 2 pm
Floor -2
20 places
Approximate duration: 60 minutes
Enrollment: 30 minutes prior to the start of the activity
Recommended for children 5 years or older

Workshop for children: Embroidery
The purpose of this workshop is to encourage children's creativity through simple embroidery techniques, providing a first contact with the technique and stimulating manual ability by working with new textures, colors, prints and shapes. The idea is for each participant to develop their own project from a design and put it into practice, with the help of the educators.

April 12th and 13th, at 2 pm
May 10th, at 2 pm
Floor -2
15 places
Approximate duration: 60 minutes
Enrollment: 30 minutes prior to the start of the activity

Workshop for children: Paper Fashion
Using patterns and prints created by Zuzu Angel, the children will be encouraged to create paper dolls, harking back to one of most common toys of the time when the designer was working. The participants will create paper clothes and accessories to be applied one by one on a doll, encouraging the perception of color and composition, which are so important in fashion.

Floor -2
30 places
Approximate duration: 60 minutes
Enrollment: 30 minutes prior to the start of the activity

2. LETTERS TO SOMEONE
During the Ocupação Zuzu exhibition, visitors will realize how the act of writing and exchanging letters was commonplace, and how the designer made it a way of communicating with the world, especially during the period when she was searching for her missing son. By means of an interference in the exhibition area, we invite visitors to write letters to someone they have not met before. These letters are left by the visitors so that others can find them along with the letters written by Zuzu Angel. The entire production of letters by visitors will be published on the itaulcultural.org.br website.

3. POETIC ACTIVITY
This activity intends to encourage the exchange of letters proposed in floor -1 of Ocupação Zuzu. We invite visitors to participate in an exchange of letters at specific times on weekends, creating an effective (and affectionate) exchange among participants.
