For some, the gender they were given fits. For others, it doesn't.

Gender creates boundaries for us all. These boundaries can be both good and bad, but are difficult to break free from.

This exhibition is about childhood and gender.
It shows how girls and boys play and have played, then and now.
It shows quite a bit of injustice. It shows a lot of fun.

You will realize that the boundaries surrounding childhood, play and gender have changed a lot throughout history.
We hope it can give you some food for thought.
We hope it will make you want to play!
