Engaging with contemporary art unites us in creative ways: the educational and entertaining workshops of the IMPROVISA-Life in Motion project encourage artistic creation and self-expression. Through the use of the IMPROVISA App, image, video and sound are combined for the (re)interpretation of cultural goods.
Below you can find information about the workshops, organized from January to May 2022 at EMST Athens, as well as how to contact us in case you are interested in participating.
THE IMPROVISA WORKSHOPS
The following workshops in Athens are implemented by the 4 artists of the IMPROVISA project and the EMST Learning Department:
Fragmented travel
Βased on the EMST collection, Smaragda Nitsopoulou (Greece), opens a dialogue about the meaning of travel and encourages participants to propose their unique interpretation of the artworks they encounter. They can imagine their own stories and express their notion of traveling through art, by using the IMPROVISA App.
The workshop is implemented from January 18 to February 11, 2022.
Playing the Collection
Paul Wiersbinski (Germany) proposes an interactive approach which deals with the notions of narration and improvisation. Participants take pictures of the Museum’s artworks, print them out and alter them to create their own stories through the IMPROVISA App.
The workshop is implemented from February 15 to March 18, 2022.
This guide is for you
Claudio Beorchia (Italy) encourages participants, who belong to different age groups, to express their impressions about the EMST artworks. Then, by using the IMPROVISA App, they create a personal digital multimedia guide with image and sound, which they dedicate to a loved one who cannot visit the exhibition (for instance to a grandfather, a nephew, a friend, etc).
The workshop is implemented from March 29 to April 29, 2022.
Beautiful noises
Ema Ferreira (Portugal) proposes to use the human voice as a medium for sound creation. By combining sound samples and visuals with the use of the IMPROVISA App, participants are encouraged to compose experimental audiovisual approaches of contemporary art and feel how our spoken, whispered and onomatopoeic voice can be part of an artistic work.
The workshop is implemented from May 3 to May 27, 2022.
INTERESTED TO PARTICIPATE?
The workshops are addressed and adapted to different audience groups of 5 to 15 people: Secondary school groups, groups of adults and people 65+, as well as other groups (disabled, socially vulnerable, etc.). They are held at EMST Athens, from Tuesday to Friday, by appointment. In case you would like to participate, you can express your interest at learning@emst.gr until February 25, 2022.
