How can we meet the growing challenges that the issue of dementia poses to our society?

++++ Workshop Overview

Further workshop offers and events will be published here continuously!

FROM WAX TO DRAWING BLOCK THE WAY TO YOUR OWN PAINTING TOOL

With pigments we investigate and mix the color that feels right for each participant for the moment. We enrich this momentum with wax and cast individual blocks from it. Painting, drawing and writing tools for all people, individual and personal. Made to be painted and drawn on, we will conduct first writing tests and painting experiments before each participant draws her own lines with her wax block.

LOST FORMS

In this workshop we will work interdisciplinary (design & music) with different materials. The misplaced glasses, the lost key or the forgotten solutions from the math school work and many more will get images from Fimo, 3-D scan, 3-D print and melodies.

FADING / FADING

In this workshop we will work interdisciplinary (art & scent) with different materials and discover interesting and beautiful moments while fading.

THE SCORES OF THE PATTERNS OF MEMORIES

In this workshop we will work interdisciplinary (art & music) with different materials. The patterns on the steps and walls to the door of the beloved grandmother, the beloved grandfather will be translated in a painterly way and serve as graphic notation for instrumental interpretation.

PRESERVED STORIES - MY MOST BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE IN SUMMER

Here, experiences are made into jam and thus preserved for eternity. In this workshop we tell each other stories and make them visible with different materials. Listening attentively and empathizing is very important. We choose materials for the story told by the other person and fill the glass with them. All senses should be addressed. What smell is related to the story? Which taste is related to the story? What sounds/music are related to the story? What color represents the story? At the end, a label is designed and each story is given a title.
