Art workshop during the Autumn Break: Masquerade and Sculpture

Welcome to an art workshop where farce, masquerade, and sculpture are used to portray the things that drive us crazy – and laugh at them together.

During the camp, participants will create masks, costumes, and sculptures as caricatures of the situations and characters that frustrate us in everyday life: a delayed train, parents who don’t listen, annoying friends, a hopeless call with customer service, an endless phone queue, an unripe avocado, or draining work. Cardboard, fabric, plastic, hot glue, and everyday objects become building blocks, allowing body and material to interact in large and small creations.

With inspiration from the film The Adventures of Picasso, the actors and filmmakers the Marx Brothers, and the constant image flow on our phones—and using the body as a framework—masks and costumes transform individual frustration into collective action. The caricatures march forward as a laughing troupe in a carnival against the absurdity of everyday life: a kind of roaring-laughter exorcism that turns hopelessness into shared activity.

No prior experience required. All you need is a frustration to transform—and the desire to create together. Everyone is welcome. Ages 7–150.

When: Tuesday-Friday, 28-31 October
Time: 12:00-16:00
