Instaprondleiding Kind with ink stains

It is 1892. Senne is 11 years old and a factory child. He works, like many children, in one of the Turnhout printing houses. The work is hard and heavy, the days are long. The ink from the machines sticks indelibly to his clothes, hands, and skin.  On what was supposed to be an ordinary workday, Senne unintentionally sets a series of events in motion, with major consequences …  Child with ink stains  is a story about exploitation and injustice, but also about resistance, courage, and the will to change the course of history.   Turnhout experienced its heyday as an industrial city in the nineteenth century. With the city of today as a backdrop, Child with ink stains  takes you back to this turbulent period. Ten impressive murals bring Senne's world to life in an unprecedented street art route .   Child with ink stains  is a production of Musea Turnhout, in collaboration with writer Paul Govaerts and comic author Dido Drachman. Together they are realizing the very first graphic novel with the city as a canvas.
