Baby Art: Playing with Light and Air

Families

Children and Families

General Public

Museum Members

Surrounded by stimuli and playing games, babies and their families interact as they explore the galleries of the Museum. This season, the program will take inspiration from the works of Jenny Holzer and Mark Leckey shown in the Museum to offer a sensory journey that weaves together art, lights, and air – an immersive experience where babies can move freely around and explore materials that will spark their curiosity and awaken their senses. We will play with colors that change with the light, adding air to the mix.

Digital Image Workshops: Crazy Ball

In this workshop, you will take creative pictures using a ball lens (an optical lens in the shape of a sphere) for stunning visual effects. The lens will be a sort of magic window into Arts of the Earth – a way of looking at the exhibition from unusual points of view. The idea is to focus, experiment, and find new ways of looking at and recording the world around you with the help of photography.

This unstructured play activity will focus on the artists featured in the Museum’s exhibition Arts of the Earth.

Conducted by: VACA rules!
Sensory Games: Feel, Play, Create 
Saturday, February 14
Using our senses, we will cross the bridge that links the past and the present, discovering magical worlds and new ways of looking at the things around us. Taking a look at Mark Leckey’s installation, we will try to identify the feelings that the city that “stood in its brightness” kindles in us. We will be surrounded by sound, in a tale where each of us is the main character. Action, imagination, and fun will come together to offer a highly personal view of the city.
Our sensory games are designed to get every family member involved, working together in a meaningful, rewarding experience.
Conducted by: Eliezer Ruiz

Books Alive! Little Dots  

Visiting Maria Helena Vieira da Silva. Anatomy of Space, we will see how the artist uses lines and colors to create fascinating labyrinth-like spaces in her paintings. We will also listen to a delightful story, The Dot, whose main character develops their own artistic style starting from a single dot. Together, we will see how a simple dot can grow into something much larger and amazing — and, by connecting dots, we will draw lines, shapes, and compositions of our own. This activity invites us to spark our imagination, share our creative process, and explore new forms of artistic expression.

Family Yoga

This yoga practice for the whole family invites you to share and rejoice, enjoying postures anyone can try. Yoga will help you connect to Mother Earth, finding ways of giving back what nature bountifully offers.
Guided by breathing, your body will resort to a variety of asanas to practice “earthing”, thus feeling the energy and power of the earth. You will become a river, a flower, a tree… In so doing, you will be part of a big family that respects, cares for, and thanks nature.

Art &amp; Music: Graphic Scores 
Sunday, February 15
In this workshop, you will make and perform your own graphic scores – the representation of music through the use of visual symbols outside the realm of traditional music notation. The symbols can be lines, shapes, colors, drawings, or other forms of representation that are capable of expressing beat and pitch. In graphic scores you use your imagination to make music based on images – a unique way of expressing emotions and ideas in music. The workshop brings together different artistic languages – music, visual arts, and performing arts –, giving families the chance to experience music in a transdisciplinary, imaginative, and unconventional way, beyond mere reproduction.
Conducted by: Adria Parravicini
Art &amp; Movement: Drawing with Your Body 
Sunday, February 22
Step into a world where drawing and movement come alive together! In Art &amp; Movement, you will be creating art with your whole body, not just drawing with your hand. Jump, roll, dance, wander around, and laugh as you see how your physical actions shape the marks you make—and how your strokes inspire movement.
Warning! This playful session is likely to spark lots of excitement and peals of laughter! No drawing or dancing skills? No problem!
You can join solo, with a friend, or as a family. Inspired by the research done by Simona Lobefaro and Alessandro Lumare (Segni Mossi), this activity is all about exploring the connections between drawing and movement, usually considered as distinct, unconnected languages.
