Family Morning: Walking, Dice and Maps

This time, both the children’s workshop and the guided tour for parents are connected to the exhibition Walk This Way. The Art of Walking.

Walking has many different traditions and meanings. Ancient Greek philosophers and pilgrims walked, just as parents stroll with their babies and dog owners take their pets for walks today. The artworks in the exhibition explore walking from a wide range of perspectives.

During the workshop, we will talk about the different ways we walk and what walking can mean to us. We will explore maps, examine symbols and signs designed for pedestrians, and think about the distances we cover on our everyday journeys. We will then try to represent these routes through illustrated, symbolic maps.

In the exhibition, we will discover works by Eszter Csorba, András Wolsky and Bruce Nauman, and experiment with unusual ways of walking inspired by their artworks – with plenty of opportunities for laughter and fun! We will also experience what it is like to let the roll of a dice determine our next steps. Finally, each child will create their own large, colourful, illustrated map, following their imagination and inventing their own rules.
