As part of the exhibition “Belonging,” the museum will host an apple casting workshop led by artist Dārta Madara Cielava.
“One of the most exciting processes in art is learning something new, experimenting, and allowing the material to become a co-author. By working with non-traditional materials, we abandon the notion of the only ‘right’ way and begin to trust the process itself. That is where the most unexpected discoveries are made. In this workshop, I invite you to create your own concrete apple and get to know the material through practical experience. It will be an opportunity to observe how form is created not only as a result of our intention but also by collaborating with the material itself and its properties.” (Dārta Madara Cielava)
During the workshop, participants will create their own concrete apple, which the artist will later finish by varnishing and deliver back to the museum so they can find their way back to you.
