This summer EMΣT is organizing its first-ever youth workshops, inviting young visitors to experience the museum as a vibrant space of imagination and creative connections. Inspired by our current exhibitions, An Ode to Things. Niki Kanagini. Retrospective and Jani Christou: Enantiodromia, the workshops turn art into a playground for experimentation and self-expression, offering a truly joyful creative experience.

For Teens aged 12–15
Sounds, Silence and Meta-Music: Inhabiting ΕΜΣΤ’s Jani Christou: Enantiodromia
Inspired by Jani Christou’s singular vision, the workshop is designed for teens who love sound, movement, observation, and experimentation. The programme offers a unique artistic experience that bridges music and contemporary art.
Teens will create graphic scores, construct tape loops from recycled magnetic tapes, record sounds from the museum and its surroundings, and explore the physicality of music. The workshop culminates in a collective meta-musical performance inside the museum itself.

For Children aged 7–12
Have we met before?: Exploring Ode to Things. Niki Kanagini. Retrospective
The workshop invites kids to discover the work of Niki Kanagini, exploring it through the lens of their own imagination, memory, and story-telling. Each day brings something new into focus: family objects, weaving practices, clothing as narrative, collective action, and shared experiences inside the museum.
Kids will experiment with a variety of media and techniques to create both individual and collective works. They will use family objects to share stories and produce works of “collective autobiography”, weave on looms and design the clothes of the future, activate the museum through participatory actions, and prepare a symbolic dinner—a ritual experience centred on food and community
