The Korean Cultural Center in Brazil is presenting a special art exhibition titled "Children's Dreams" from October 6 to 26, celebrating Children's Day and showcasing the creative talents of young artists. The exhibition, supported by the Korean Cultural Center in Brazil in partnership with JAYU Art Studio, features artwork created by students ranging from 5 to 15 years old.
The exhibition explores diverse artistic themes that reflect the imagination and aspirations of young creators. Featured works include Munjado pieces, which express wishes and aspirations through creative drawings and paintings that represent dreams and hopes for the future. The collection also includes self-portraits that capture the children's bodies and emotions, providing intimate glimpses into their personal experiences and perspectives.
Visitors will discover a variety of freeform artworks that showcase the originality and unbounded creativity of these young artists. The pieces offer unique insights into the imagination and artistic potential of children, demonstrating their natural ability to express themselves through various artistic mediums without conventional constraints.
The exhibition takes place at the Library of the Korean Cultural Center, located on the first floor at Avenida Paulista, 460, in the Bela Vista neighborhood of São Paulo. The gallery is open Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Admission is completely free, though entry is subject to the venue's capacity limitations.
JAYU Art Studio, founded in 2021, created this exhibition as part of its mission to provide a space where children and families can connect and grow together through artistic expression. The studio's educational approach goes beyond simply teaching technical skills, instead emphasizing each child's individuality and emotional development while fostering creativity and self-expression.
The art classes at JAYU Art explore various mediums including painting, sculpture, and installations, encouraging students to experiment and discover their own unique forms of artistic expression. The program naturally integrates cultural elements from both Brazil and Korea, nurturing a multicultural sensibility that forms the core of its educational philosophy and helps students develop a broader worldview through art.
Organizers describe the exhibition as a meaningful opportunity to celebrate the world of childhood and expand its possibilities, allowing the public to experience pure and creative expressions through the eyes of children. The event demonstrates how art can serve as a universal language that transcends age barriers and cultural boundaries, offering viewers a chance to reconnect with the wonder and imagination of youth.
