for organized groups of preschool and school children.
Workshop participants will discover that a visit to an exhibition can be a fascinating and instructive adventure. Every workshop will start with a guided tour of the current exhibition, The State We Are In. The Collection of the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw at Galeria Labirynt in Lublin. The show is an excellent starting point for conversations with young people on topics that might seem difficult yet are vital and close to every human being. What is our everyday life made up of? How do people’s everyday lives differ? What kinds of freedom are there? Does the past have any impact on us?
Thanks to a variety of artistic techniques of the displayed works, participants will get to know and better understand the world of contemporary art, while the creative part of the class will help consolidate the acquired knowledge and develop creativity.
Duration: 60 minutes approx. (guided tour – 30 mins; creative workshop – 30 mins)
The classes are held from 18th September to 9th November, Tuesday to Friday, between 9 a.m. and 2.30 p.m.

Suggested topics:
Forms and States
Classes are devoted to artistic forms and techniques used by contemporary artists. While discussing the works of art on display, participants will primarily focus on their formal analysis. Participants will get to know the typology of art objects and their development based on both "classical" forms (painting, sculpture) and those which were entered into the art canon in the past century (photography, collage, films, ready-mades, installations).
The state of everyday life
During the workshops, participants will talk about everyday life and different ways of representing it in contemporary art. Based on the works on display, they will attempt to figure out what constitutes our everyday life, and who or what may influence it.
