Ephra

In the location's words:

Who we are
Ephra is a non-profit organization based in Berlin.

Ephra designs and implements innovative projects and individual offers for partner institutions and clients from the fields of culture and education. Ephra acts as an interface to connect children and art and is committed to breaking down barriers to participation in cultural activities.

Ephra opens up spaces for asking questions together at eye level. Ephra is committed to democracy and emotional education through art.

Our projects
In order to create places and spaces for child-friendly art education, Ephra cooperates with schools and various institutions, museums and exhibition venues, including the Bundesstiftung Bauakademie, Jewish Museum Berlin, LAS (Light Art Space), Kulturhaus Schwartzsche Villa, Kunsthaus Dahlem and Gropius Bau. For the latter, Ephra designed and implemented the education program for the Yayoi Kusama retrospective in 2021 and held workshops for families and school classes in the group exhibition YOYI! Care, Repair, Heal was realized.

Our mission statement
Promoting democracy must begin in childhood! When children learn that their thoughts and feelings are valuable, this demonstrably strengthens their resilience and community skills. Children learn democracy by being taught how they can constructively shape their living environment. Children are strengthened in their personal responsibility by experiencing diversity, co-determination and freedom of expression. Children hone their community skills by learning how to express themselves and listen to others.

Ephra connects children with artists and art, because art encourages them to look at the essential questions of life together. Children belong in art. Because art is not a privilege, but an important pillar of a democratic society.

Ephra bietet an ausgewählten Termin Workshops, Veranstaltungen und Angebote an.
