Free coloring book from Sarpsborg!
Now you can put color to people’s ideas for the future of Sarpsborg! Copies of the free coloring book with illustrations made by artists in In Search of Democracy 3.0 can be picked up at the library and at Bydelskontoret in Østre bydel!
What should Sarpsborg look like in the future? What do the inhabitans miss and want for their town?
From 2022 to 2024, Østfold International Theatre’s team of professional illustrators have interviewed people in Sarpsborg and drawn their ideas as part of the art project In Search of Democracy 3.0.
We’ve asked people in Fredrikstad and illustrated their answers to a simple question:
“What do you miss in your city?”
Now, you can see then all in this free coloring book.
The book contains all the drawings from the project, which you or your children can color. You’ll also find tips and advice on how you yourself can help shape the future of your hometown or local democracy, as well as several articles about the project and art as participation.
