AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'My mum and dad go to work so I come to kinder every day. They need to look after their patients ‘cause they’re doctors. Lockdown is different at kinder.

'Children’s voices are incredibly important within the City of Boroondara, and it is important to Council that they be heard and amplified – including during the COVID-19 pandemic. In mid-September 2020, children who attended kindergarten in Boroondara joined a special online workshop with artist Nikita Hederics, in which they drew their window at home and what they saw through it. The result is a unique view into life in Boroondara during Melbourne’s extended lockdown, through the eyes of children aged 3 to 5 from 8 different kindergartens.

'Through my window was a partnership between Boroondara Library Service and Early Years’ Health and Wellbeing Services.'
