The Forest Group (Παρέα του Δάσους) comes to the Stavros Niarchos Cultural Center and invites families to discover the Park through environmental and sensory games, following the stimuli amply supplied by the natural environment and the seasons of the year. Young and old alike, we play, explore, discover, immerse ourselves and learn about us and the nature around us!
The creative embroidery workshop resumes for two unique sessions at the SNFCC, as part of the celebrations for the 5-year anniversary of the Culture Center!
Drawing on the numerous posters of the Culture Center, this collage workshop allows participants to process printed photographs and text (words, fonts, symbols) in order to compose their own poster for the most enigmatic event that is going to take place at the SNFCC. In this way they become acquainted with the main steps of designing an artistic poster, i.e. of the way in which an idea takes on a distinct visual form in order to convey a message or piece of information.
The Mistake Workshop series, one of the most popular visual arts workshops at the Culture Center, return to the SNFCC, in the context of the events for the 5 years of the Stavros Niarchos Cultural Center, for a festive meeting, during which all mistakes are allowed, imagination takes the lead and personal expression blossoms. We draw inspiration from the most influential photographs taken by visitors of the Culture Center and we use them as a background to make our portrait.
What are your memories from the Culture Center, your everyday stories? How would you like to capture them in a drawing?
Every year, on every national day, during parades, or at medal ceremonies in the Olympics, we hear and sing our national anthem. A song that is well known to us all and sends shivers of emotion up and down our spine. But what is this song? Who wrote it and what is the meaning of its lyrics? A story that started in Zakynthos, was printed in Missolonghi, and was later set to music in Corfu.
