The Many Faces of the Assembly DVD: a Study On the
Human Figure In Drawing, Clay, and Photography. 2017, $49.95 (Three videos
(one + 2 insights), total running time: 45 minutes. Produced by Reggio Children.
Audio: Italian stereo with English subtitles)
The children of the Iqbal Masih Preschool investigate the
human figure and portraits through an interweaving of the languages of clay,
drawing, and photography. They choose to depict and describe the morning
assembly: “Let’s do when we have the assembly, because it’s all of us!”
It is a complex subject, not easy to represent. The video
follows the many threads of the research through the children’s explorations in
the boundary zones between the different languages, making visible the thoughts
and abilities that develop in these important “crossings”. It all takes place
on the backdrop of a cheerful buzzing of words, thoughts, laughter, pauses,
rethinking, joking around, leaps, and discussions, where research and life
constitute the underlying fabric. |

One City, Many Children: Reggio Emilia, a History of the
Present. Edited by Rolando Baldini, et al, 2012, $69.95
The narrative of One City, Many Children is
developed through a number of broad themes: community participation, the active
role of women and women’s movements, the politics of education in the city’s
municipal administration, the ties between pedagogy and politics, the
originality of pedagogical thinking of Loris Malaguzzi and of the Reggio Emilia
education project, and the strong international identity of what is a local
experience.
These themes, all topical and capable of generating new
questions on education, are explored more deeply through contributions and
considerations from architects, atelieristas, designers, academics,
philosophers, photographers, teachers, pedagogues and pedagogistas, poets, film
directors, scientists, writers and historians: the theory of the hundred
languages of children shapes the construction of the narrative form.
With interviews and texts by Renzo Bonazzi, Simona
Bonilauri, Ettore Borghi, Jerome Bruner, Antonio Canovi, Luciano Corradini,
Gunilla Dahlberg, Graziano Delrio, Paul Ginsborg, Loris Malaguzzi, Carla
