The Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw invites you to creative family workshops inspired by the "Gutsy" section of the "City of Women" exhibition.
During the meeting, we will look at the works of artists from around the world who have created fascinating works resembling elements of the (non-)human organism. Thanks to art, it will be easier for us to imagine what our bodies look like under the skin. We will also try to listen to our "inner voices" that communicate with us through bodily reactions. We will consider where goose bumps come from, what it feels like to have butterflies in your stomach, and why our palms sometimes sweat.
What will we be doing?
In the second part of the workshop, we will make the creatures mentioned in the title – unique sensory toys. We will use commonly available materials and recycled raw materials.
We will consider what this mysterious voice that speaks to us from within might physically look like:
Is it big or small?
Does it resemble an animal?
Is it soft to the touch like yeast dough, or hard like peas? We will create unique objects that can be squeezed and touched, thus taming our emotions.
