Unsere bunte Zukunft – Children's Visions of a Colorful Future at the Gold- and Silversmith Museum

This exhibition showcases artwork created by children from Ottakring, inspired by the artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser. The young participants express their vision of a more colorful and joyful city through their paintings, reflecting their hopes and dreams.

The exhibition "Unsere bunte Zukunft – Kinder gestalten Bilder" (Our Colorful Future – Children Create Pictures) presents artwork developed by students from the 3a class of Volksschule Grubergasse and MSK Grundsteingasse in Ottakring. Stemming from a desire for a more vibrant and cheerful city, as expressed through the local children's and youth parliament, these young artists translate their ideas into visual form. Inspired by the artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser, who viewed the world through the eyes of children and celebrated color and imagination, the exhibition features paintings that are windows into the children's thoughts, wishes, smiles, and dreams for the future. Each artwork is a testament to the children's creativity and courage, with their strengths, hopes, and joys poured onto paper in vivid colors. The exhibition invites visitors to slow down, observe closely, and feel the passion in every brushstroke, the hope in every circle, and the future held within a child's hand. It suggests that the city we need already exists in the minds of the young, and that by collaborating, we can bring it to life.
