Uovokids Returns to Milan for Eighth Edition

Uovokids, Italy's largest multidisciplinary festival for children aged 0-12 and their families, returns to Milan for its eighth edition on October 21-22, 2017. The festival features over 33 workshops, performances, and interactive installations across multiple venues including the Museo Nazionale della Scienza e della Tecnologia Leonardo da Vinci, Triennale di Milano (Triennale Design Museum and Triennale Teatro dell'Arte), and Fondazione Giangiacomo Feltrinelli. Uovokids commissions projects from prominent Italian and international artists who do not typically work with children, fostering interaction between creatives and young audiences. Activities span design (Dossofiorito, Matteo Cibic, Giulio Iacchetti, Corraini Editore), illustration (Canicola, Lara Caputo), video and digital animation (Luca Roncella, Giorgio Bellasio), new technologies (Tinkering Zone, Coderdojo robotics), food (Soup Opera, Milimbo), storytelling (Gianni Biondillo), performing arts (Kinkaleri, Silvia Salvagnini), and music (Emanuele Maniscalco, Enrico Malatesta, Santeria with Antonio Mainenti). Highlights include 'Forme Sonore' by Anna Resmini and Giulia Zaffaroni, a multisensory reading game; 'Aliossi, or a set of moving body' by Enrico Malatesta focusing on sound installations; and 'La stampa del Caneleonte' by Canedicoda in collaboration with Terraforma, teaching serigraphy with natural dyes from beets, turmeric, blueberries, and charcoal.
