sans papiers (undocumented)

Visitors of daycare centre De Bron are welcomed at the entrance by a remarkable work of art by Sven ‘t Jolle. The statue Sans papiers – uit de kindertijd van de mens is a tribute to the ancient symbols of birth and care. The playful, modern shapes of the piece refer to the daycare centre’s refreshing view on child care and its inclusive ways.

The place of the work of art is no coincidence. It ensures that children come into contact with art from a young age, stimulating their creativity. Art encourages to experiment and learn new things. That is why De Bron is the perfect place for the work of art.
