We present a range of programs that Keiko Sei and a group of artists and friends prepared for the pupils of the special school in Ústí nad Labem in 2002. Most of the footage was shot by the students themselves as part of a game aimed at supporting their creative potential and human and civic self-awareness.
The very focus of the program on the institute of the so-called special school is a typical example of the political dimension of Keiko Sei's work. The pupils of these schools were often children of Roma origin, from poor families or with social problems, and internalization in these "special" schools further stigmatized these children.
