IRAND. International Research and Archives Network Historical Children's and Youth Drawings

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The research association International Research and Archives Network for Historical Children's and Youth Drawings (IRAND) was established in 2017. In November of that year, the founding conference with the title “Childhood in Danger - Drawings by Children and Young People of the 20th Century” took place as a cooperation project of the University of Paderborn and the Düsseldorf Art Academy .

The project was initiated by Kunibert Bering and Jutta Ströter-Bender. The network now connects universities, archives, collections and research institutes around the world with the aim of fundamentally researching the creative work of adolescents and conveying this in the sense of UNESCO peace education with exhibitions and educational materials such as museum suitcases.

Historical drawings by children and adolescents are important documents for the emergence and change of worldviews. This applies in particular to drawings that were made in the times of crisis of the 20th century - two world wars, genocides, uprisings, persecutions and expulsions, but also in times of peace school life and everyday life. The drawings of children and young people can therefore also represent important elements for a cultural memory.

The European museum and archive landscape in particular is rich in collections of historical drawings by children and young people from different periods of the 19th and 20th centuries. Similar to written documents, the hand-written children's drawings convey historical facts, events and contexts from the perspective of adolescents at the intersection of image finding and writing on various levels. The history of the origins of collections and the origins of the drawings is extremely diverse in terms of cultural and educational policy and begins in part as early as the early 20th century. Children's and young people's drawings are not integrated into the official canon of art history and the art market.

In the long term, the network aims to initiate the inclusion of representative works in the UNESCO World Document Heritage. In 2020 the archive network was incorporated as: Cooperating Institution of the UNESCO Memory of the World Sub-Committee on Education and Research (SCEaR). International Advisory Committee (IAC).
