In My Language – Multilingual Dreamcatcher Workshop
On Sunday, 12 April, from 13:00–15:00, Hafnarborg and GETA invite guests to a multilingual art workshop where dreamcatchers will be created under the guidance of artists Maríana Samarska and Anne Rombach. The languages of the workshop are Icelandic, Ukrainian, English and German.
Come and take part in a creative and calming art workshop where we make unique dreamcatchers using natural and varied materials. All materials will be provided on site, but participants are encouraged to bring items from their own collection – such as feathers, fabric or found objects – that can be woven into the work and make it even more personal.
Each dreamcatcher carries something wild – not only for decoration, but for protection, guidance and inspiration. Let spirits and bad dreams pass by…
The workshop takes place on the museum’s ground floor and is open to all age groups. No prior experience in art-making is required, but children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. As always, participation in workshops as well as admission to the museum’s exhibitions is free of charge for guests.
In My Language is an event series aimed at increasing access to Hafnarborg for people from diverse backgrounds by welcoming guests in different languages. The event is a collaboration between Hafnarborg and the organization GETA, which works through a variety of events and social activities to promote inclusion and positive multiculturalism. The project is supported by the Museum Fund.
