The Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw invites you to sensory-friendly family workshops accompanying the exhibitions “The Paths of Black People Enter the White Land” and “You Are at the Heart of Change: Surrealism and Anti-Fascism.”
What will we be doing?
During our visit to the exhibitions, we’ll see African and theatrical masks. Together, we’ll think about what materials they were made of, who they represent, and what they might have been used for.
In the workshop portion, we’ll create masks that tell a story about ourselves. We’ll try to express our own interests, emotions, and personality traits through them. We’ll also decide whether they’ll serve as part of a costume or perhaps become a beautiful decoration. Our masks will be made of soft foam, felt, wool, and other materials. We’ll experiment with textures, colors, and shapes!
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.
