The Ontario Reggio Association is hosting the Mosaic of Marks, Words, Material Exhibition and Atelier from the infant-toddler centres and preschools in Reggio Emilia in 2023, in Toronto mid-March to mid-April; Sudbury mid-April – mid-May; and Ottawa mid-May – mid-June.  This exhibit focuses on children’s mark-making and the relationship with intertwining words and stories, “creating an intelligent and often poetic mosaic” (Catalogue of the exhibit, p. 15).

In order to prepare for the presence of the exhibit, we are offering an online series based on the rich and thought-provoking catalogue of the exhibit, published by Reggio Children. The series will be guided by Patty Randall and Gabriela Garcia from the North American Reggio Emilia Alliance (NAREA).  The exhibit has been in Atlanta (NAREA’s home base) since 2019, and Patty and Gabriela have had rich opportunities to study it with educators and families.
