Join us for an interactive museum experience that explores the relationship between art, health, and human connection. Through guided activities, participants will slow down, observe with curiosity, and engage with artworks in new and meaningful ways. The experience 1. Show Me What You See Working in pairs, one participant describes an artwork while the other listens without seeing it, creating a mental image through words alone. Once the artwork is revealed, participants reflect on how memories, emotions, and assumptions shape the way we interpret what we hear and see. 2. Explore Each Other's Perspective Participants carefully observe an artwork, identifying colours, textures, shapes, and other visual details before interpreting its meaning. This exercise encourages mindful observation, curiosity, and appreciation for different perspectives. 3. Stepping Into a New World Participants imagine stepping into the world of a character from an artwork through guided questions about thoughts, emotions, and sensory experiences. The exercise fosters empathy, imagination, and emotional awareness. 4. Reflection & Creative Response The experience concludes with a moment of reflection, where participants can write about or discuss an artwork that resonated with them and share insights from the afternoon. After the experience After the workshop, anyone who would like to continue the conversation is welcome to join us for drinks at Bokaal. This is a great opportunity to get to know each other in a relaxed atmosphere. Please note: drinks and any food ordered at Bokaal are not included in the event price and will be paid individually by each participant. No artistic knowledge or experience is required—just curiosity and an open mind. Come as you are, meet new people, and experience art as a space for reflection, connection, and wellbeing.
