Moving Memories

Creative workshop in the framework of The Mindful Hand exhibition by Eva L'Hoest

In this workshop, the children learn how to work with the magic zoetrope, one of the earliest animation techniques, to help them “bring their memories to life”. First, they create drawings of their memories which they then insert in the zoetrope. As the zoetrope spins, the drawings transform into moving images and merge into a looped animated sequence.
