Der Eintrag
Ein Element, von brasilianischen und deutschen Schulkindern gemeinsam in Berlin bemalt und dann in den Bundesstaat São Paulo verschifft – der einzige Eintrag hier, der von Kindern geschaffen wurde – und 2026 in einen Club in São Paulo versetzt.
Die ausführliche Geschichte, die Herkunft und die Quellenangaben dieses Eintrags liegen bislang nur auf Englisch vor.
An element stood at the Banda Lyra Mogimiriana music school in Mogi Mirim, in the state of São Paulo, for a decade. It got there through a children's project rather than a government or a collector. The Berlin association MyTheo e. V., founded by Sylvia Hahnisch around a cartoon character called Theo Tintenklecks, had been running exchanges between the school and the Niederheide primary school in Hohen Neuendorf since 2011, including video lessons between the two classrooms.
In 2015 the association started a wall project under its programme Die Erde mein Zuhause — the earth my home — in which children and artists in different countries painted parts of the Wall as a statement about a shared future. Michael Schleusener of Berlin coordinated it, flying to Mogi Mirim with a small delegation to paint a miniature wall as a start; that September a party of ten Brazilians travelled to Berlin, where pupils of both schools painted one side of a real element together.
It is, as far as this catalogue records, the only segment anywhere whose surface was decided by eleven-year-olds from two continents.
O Regional reported that it reached the port of Santos in late May 2016 and was first shown to the public on 6 July 2016, during the town’s winter festival, giving it as 3.6 metres high and about four tonnes. In May 2026 the trade paper Panrotas reported that it was leaving the school’s headquarters for the Club Transatlântico in São Paulo, to be installed permanently there on 16 May 2026, and gave it as three metres and three tonnes. Mogi Mirim is therefore recorded as its former site.
Wie kam es hierher?
Organised by MyTheo e. V. of Berlin under its Die Erde mein Zuhause programme, coordinated by Michael Schleusener, and painted jointly by pupils of the Mogi Mirim music school and the Niederheide primary school in Hohen Neuendorf in September 2015.
