As part of the ongoing Museum Education Programme at the State Gallery of Contemporary Art - Majestic, an innovative and inclusive psycho-educational art programme for teenagers and adults will be launched, in collaboration with the Kuns Studio sculpture studio, during the months of March and April 2023.
Individuals with and without formal development are invited to explore issues of individual and collective identity and acceptance through an interactive tour of selected artworks from the collection. As part of the programme, participants will have the opportunity to co-create artworks using clay, and express thoughts and feelings around the issues that will emerge through the plasticity of the material, also exploring the world of sculpture.
The central aim of the psycho-educational programme is to provide a framework of equal opportunities to learn about and enjoy cultural goods and art services, as well as to cultivate artistic and emotional intelligence skills.
The programme is designed and for specific groups of the public (disabled, neurodevelopmental disorders) and is implemented through the collaboration of Elpida Frageskidou, Founder of Kuns Studio sculpture studio (MA Fine Arts & Arts Education), - and the art psychotherapist Eleni Petridou Bouriti (MSc Art Psychotherapy | MA Fine Arts & Arts Education), in an effort to attract audiences to cultural spaces and raise awareness on issues of development, empathy and well-being.
