VIRTUAL WORKSHOP: PLAYFUL EYE FOR KIDS & FAMILIES

About this event

Go on a virtual art adventure through the QAGOMA Collection, during the school holidays. Join in on playful activities designed especially for kids and their families, exploring art in a new way. Facilitated by Michael Garbutt and Nico Roenpagel.

About the facilitators

Michael Garbutt, Ph.D and Nico Roenpagel, Ph.D., first met one auspicious afternoon in Australia about a hundred moons ago. At that time, Michael was - and still is - teaching at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Faculty of Art & Design, while Nico was dancing his PhD at the same institution. Currently, Michael researches the embodied visual experience of art museum visitors and Nico brings compassion-based mindfulness training to companies in Berlin. Sharing a fascination for the contemplative, awakened, and unfolding nature of human experience, their prolific collaboration to date has resulted in a book, a performance, an exhibition … and now The Mindful Eye-Playful Eye Project, which includes art museum workshops, a book and an app in the making.
