Jessi Reaves, *Fix Anything by Routine*, 2023
The Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw invites you to a sensory-friendly family workshop titled “Extraordinary Creatures,” held in conjunction with the exhibition “Sculpture Beyond the Solid”.
We’ll start the session with a guided tour of the exhibition, which is full of extraordinary sculptures. Some of them may resemble fantastical creatures. Together, we’ll ponder who these animals and creatures we encounter are and where they might come from. What might they tell us about themselves? Can we understand their language?=
What will we be doing?
In the second part of the session, we’ll do an art project using fabric, clay, and paper. We’ll mold our own sculptures depicting imaginary characters. We’ll talk about who they are, where they live, and what they look like. Or maybe they’re similar to us or to animals we know?
Event Availability
Sensory-friendly workshops are designed to meet the needs of children with sensory sensitivity and those on the autism spectrum. They are conducted in small groups by specially trained facilitators. We also invite siblings of children with diverse needs and all families who wish to explore art in a welcoming environment. The sessions require active participation from caregivers, and pair activities strengthen the bond between parent and child.
