Recommended age: around 10 to 99 years


18.1.25 | Character Development

How do we bring the protagonists of our stories to life? Step by step, we will explore storytelling techniques that help us to connect with our characters. Together, we will visit the exhibition “Philippe Parreno. Voices”, where voices, sounds, and spaces move through the atmosphere like invisible protagonists. Here, we will seek inspiration before bringing our own characters to life on paper.

22.2.25 | Landscapes and Setting

The setting of a story forms its arena. Are we in a Spanish country house or amidst an almond grove in the Tabernas Desert? The location of a story is crucial in shaping what can happen within it. Whether on Mount Analogue or in the data stream, we explore Parreno’s exhibition for signs and places that can become the setting of our own story.

15.3.25 | The Hero's Journey in a Tote Bag

The hero’s journey is the archetypal form of storytelling. A hero ventures into the world to find something or someone—perhaps an ally, a treasure, or even themselves. Along the way, they encounter countless adventures and meet new companions. Today, we will examine this narrative through the lens of author Ursula K. Le Guin’s theory and create our own variations of the hero’s journey within Parreno’s exhibition.

5.4.25 | Finding a Language

Language is more than just a tool for communication. It is the means by which we shape our thoughts and feelings, express ourselves, and describe the world around us. But how do we find our own voice? And what if we push beyond existing boundaries to create an entirely new language? With a visit to Parreno’s exhibition, we will discover new alphabets and bring our own to life on paper.

17.5.25 | Writing Voices & Dialogues

Most people, and even many animals, have a voice with which they can communicate. We embark on a search for all the other voices that can be heard around us and within Philippe Parreno’s exhibition. How does the house of Spanish painter Francisco de Goya sound? What about a desert landscape or news anchor Susanne Daubner? Together, we will explore these voices in Parreno’s exhibition. What stories do they tell us? What do they whisper to us? We will listen closely—and write it all down.

Workshops will take place in the Atelier. Please purchase tickets in advance online.
