Through the lens of the "Mên and Men" exhibition and an exploration of the Zaratan gallery space, we invite young audiences to participate in a workshop about gender roles, led by artist Ana Salomé Paiva, where the works of Azerbaijani artist Qafar Rzayev will serve as a starting point for a journey of reflection and creative expression about identity.
Inspired by group discussions and the works on display, children will be invited to create drawings and paintings that represent their ideas about how gender roles can be reinvented.
The workshop will begin with a roundtable discussion about the children's family dynamics, addressing topics such as the division of household chores, professions traditionally associated with men and women, and expectations of behavior for boys and girls.
Based on this exchange of experiences, we will explore how the roles of father and mother can be reflected upon and rethought, inviting children to create drawings and paintings that represent their ideas on these themes.
