During the workshop at the exhibition “You Are at the Heart of Change: Surrealism and Anti-Fascism,” we’ll explore experiments inspired by the work of the Surrealists. We’ll explore whether a seemingly absurd idea can become a poignant commentary on the world around us. When established rules no longer suffice, is it worth trusting our own intuition and seeing what emerges from free play?
We’ll work as a team. We’ll take a close look at the details of the exhibition and explore their hidden meanings. Our main task will be to come up with original games, codes, and completely alternative rules. These sessions will be a great opportunity to learn how to express your own opinions, listen carefully to others’ ideas, appreciate diversity, and feel that personal creativity gives us tremendous independence and agency.
YOU ARE AT THE HEART OF CHANGE. SURREALISM AND ANTI-FASCISM
We invite you to the exhibition “You Are at the Heart of Change: Surrealism and Anti-Fascism” at the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw! It’s a unique space to discover art that boldly dreamed of a better world.
Although surrealism is often associated primarily with dreams and fantasy, the exhibition at the MSN presents it as a movement full of social engagement. Artists from around the world used the power of imagination to fight injustice, violence, and war. They proved that art has the power to change reality.
The exhibition provides the perfect backdrop for educational workshops. We’ll take preschoolers on a journey into a world of extraordinary forms, teaching them empathy and how to express their emotions. With school students, we’ll discuss freedom, the power of solidarity, and art as a tool of resistance. Together, we’ll discover that each of us can be at the heart of change!
