##Visite d’une exposition jeunesse et activité de médiation 

Favorisant l’éveil des sens et l’esprit critique, les activités proposées permettront aux élèves de décoder les messages publicitaires et de se familiariser avec la consommation responsable. En plus d’une visite commentée, les jeunes auront l’occasion de prendre part à des jeux d’observation et à un atelier conçu pour approfondir la réflexion sur les enjeux abordés par Juan Ortiz-Apuy.

Les activités entourant la visite de l’exposition sont créées et menées par des médiateur·rice·s spécialisé·e·s en arts visuels.  

##Juan Ortiz-Apuy. Tropicana

Avec _Tropicana_, sa toute nouvelle exposition jeunesse, VOX invite les enfants à poser un regard critique sur l’actuelle société de consommation et sur ses conséquences environnementales. L’artiste montréalais d’origine costaricaine Juan Ortiz-Apuy a réalisé pour l’occasion une installation multidisciplinaire haute en couleur où se côtoient des animaux exotiques, des objets insolites, des créatures mutantes, des rythmes endiablés de cumbia et une sculpture gonflable. C’est au moyen d’un riche environnement visuel et sonore composé de vidéos, d’images et d’objets de consommation à l’apparence parfois surprenante qu’il explore le langage publicitaire de même que les nouvelles stratégies commerciales observées à l’heure des réseaux sociaux.

Approche novatrice, l’exposition jeunesse en art actuel permet à un artiste de se prêter au jeu de la création d’une nouvelle production destinée à un groupe d’âge précis.

**Ce projet bénéficie du soutien financier du Conseil des arts de Montréal et de la Caisse de la Culture.**
