We created and implemented the program “Hands full of Clouds: participatory reading workshops in high school dormitories” in the period from July 2022 until February 2023. Our wish to promote a socially engaged and multidisciplinary approach to reading among the young and to work on democratization of culture has led us to work with three high school dormitories in Zagreb. In Dora Pejačević dormitory, Technical School Zagreb dormitory, and Novi Zagreb dormitory we held workshops that brought closer three literary works to high school students: "Youth without God" by Odon von Horvath, the collection of short stories "Workers and Peasants" by Viktor Ivančić, and the book of plays “Hands full of Clouds” by Lejla Kalamujić, which gave the name to our program. Our approach to these works was participatory and interdisciplinary: the workshops in each of the dormitories included a joint reading, a discussion, a visual interpretation of the works, a conversation with the authors or actors, and an analysis of the texts via digital and audio tools. Germanist and Croatist Ivana Perica selected the texts and led workshops on critical analysis of the texts. Designers Nina Bačun and Roberta Bratović from the OAZA collective led artistic workshops, and radiophonist Ljubica Letinić was in charge of creating and mentoring sound editing workshops. Pedagogues Ivana Čalić Kovačević and Matea Ćukušić, and librarian Iva Grisogono, all employees of the high school dormitories, also had an important role in organization of our workshops, gathering students and helping them prepare them for the workshops.
YOU ARE WELCOME TO JOIN US AT THE YOUTH CULTURE CENTRE RIBNJAK, WHERE WE WILL BE PRESENTING COLLAGES AND SOUND VIGNETTES CREATED IN WORKSHOPS, IN THE COMPANY OF THE PARTICIPANTS!
