Curatorial context

Learning Through Art is an educational initiative by the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao that turns classrooms into active art workshops throughout the school year. This exhibition presents the culmination of twenty sessions where students aged 6 to 12 worked alongside professional artists to explore and transform their environment through art, resulting in imaginative projects like invented maps, futuristic architecture, and unusual creatures. The participating artists—Alejandra Bueno, Ibon Garagarza, Zaloa Ipiña, Nerea Lekuona, Manu Muniategiandikoetxea, and Ibon Sáenz de Olazagoitia—guided the students to see art as a liberating tool that offers multiple perspectives. Many materials used in both the student projects and the gallery design are recycled, reinforcing the Museum's dedication to sustainability and the holistic approach of the program.
