Reimagining the world around us through art.
About
Organised by the Museum of Goa and the Children’s Art Studio, A World of My Own was held from 3rd to 8th March 2020 at the MOG. Like its 2019 edition, the second edition invited children to explore, create, and express through art. The week-long initiative transformed the museum into a space for imagination and reflection through hands-on workshops, an interactive exhibition, and a state-wide competition.
Exhibition: I Wish
Curated by Chaitali Morajkar, the exhibition featured over 300 artworks by 40 young artists presenting a visual narrative of the children’s desires, hopes, and dreams. The children’s desires were as varied as they were imaginative, ranging from whimsical dreams of a world full of birds, rainbows, and magical kingdoms to deeper concerns like saving endangered species and addressing climate change. Through their artwork, created using materials like acrylic, clay, and paper, the children explored themes of identity, belonging, and the world they envision. Each piece was a reflection of their unique perspective and creativity, bringing their wishes to life in vibrant and thought-provoking ways.
Workshops & Guided Tours
On 3rd and 4th March 2020, guided tours encouraged children to observe closely, ask questions, and engage with the artworks. Each session ended with participants co-creating a group artwork inspired by the exhibition.
All Goa Drawing Competition
The program concluded on 8th March 2020 with a state-wide drawing competition. Students from across Goa participated, categorised into groups based on their ages. The topic was revealed on the spot to encourage spontaneity and creative thinking. The competition hosted over 100 children and culminated in an award ceremony to felicitate the winners.
Keep Creating with Us
A World of My Own (2020) was part of a growing effort by the Museum of Goa to connect children with art in thoughtful, hands-on ways. Through exhibitions, workshops, and collaborations, MOG continues to build spaces where creativity leads the conversation.
