Philo en famille – S’habiller : une nécessité, un art ou un jeu ?

After independently exploring the PENN & FASHION and Everyday Clothing exhibitions, parents and children are invited to come together to take time to express their ideas, exchange views, and listen, in a friendly atmosphere.

Even before speaking, do our clothes already say something about us? Can they hide us, reveal us, or transform us? Why do theater, circus, clown, drag queen, or carnival costumes allow us to invent other ways of being?

Drawing on the works presented in the exhibitions, parents and children will question clothing together as a means of expression, raw material to create and transform, but also as a personal choice and social reality. An invitation to look differently at what we wear… and what our clothes tell about us.

She believes in philosophy as an educational foundation for intercultural dialogue and social transformation. Children have a great capacity to question, and giving them the opportunity to do so is essential to enable them to build a sense of self, coexist, cooperate, and become aware of a diverse world.
