The Teenager Kit is an aid designed for young people aged 12 to 19 to use in the Reaching for the Stars exhibition either on their own or with others.
The Kit comes in the shape of a small, illustrated book containing information, thoughts and suggestions on how to approach the work of the artists in the Sandretto Re Rebaudengo Collection, written in a plain, accessible style. The pages of the Kit contain information on the exhibition and a series of proposals for activities to be performed either in front of the exhibits or at home.
The Teenager Kit has been devised for young art enthusiasts, for the merely curious who have never tried visiting an art exhibition on their own, or for teenagers whose sole experience of art so far has been on a school outing. The Kit encourages teenagers to discover art as a personal event to be experienced either independently or in the company of friends.
The Teenager Kit is designed to be used independently in the exhibition rooms in Palazzo Strozzi and is available free of charge:
– the hardcopy version can be picked up at the Palazzo Strozzi ticket office;
– the digital version can be downloaded at home.
For teachers
The Kit is a tool which encourages students to visit the exhibition under their own steam but which can also be used to prepare a class visit. Teachers who would like to advise their students to use the kit and who seek further information may write directly to the Education Department.
The Teenager Kit is a Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi project.
