Dream Worlds in Layers: Creative Children's Workshop in Karlsruhe
Mysterious beings, fantastic landscapes, and plenty of room for personal ideas: In the children's workshop Dream Worlds in Layers, young art fans dive into a surreal image world. On September 26, 2026, children aged 10 and up will create their own dream landscape at ZKM Karlsruhe using collage techniques and bring a personal fantasy creature to life.
Layer by Layer to Own Fantasy World
Under the guidance of Judith Lindner, imaginative image spaces are created from various papers, shapes, and colors. The children discover how a collage changes through overlays and how individual picture elements grow into a completely new story. Each layer brings a surprise: sometimes the landscape appears mysterious, sometimes friendly, exciting, or a little puzzling.
Imagination Meets Art Appreciation
The workshop is related to the exhibition by Swiss artist Annette Barcelo. Her drawings and paintings showcase detailed figures, animal beings, and expressive lines between dream and reality. These artistic impressions provide children with inspiration to develop their own image ideas and make their ideas visible.
Age-Appropriate, Open, and Creative
The offering is aimed at children aged 10 and up and combines playful creation with an age-appropriate learning experience. Cutting, arranging, and combining promote fine motor skills, imagination, and independent decision-making. At the same time, participants experience shared time, children's laughter, and creative exchange in an inspiring environment.
Important Notes for Families
The 90-minute workshop will be held in the German language. No registration is required, but the number of places is limited. The workshop costs 4 euros plus admission. Admission to the exhibition is free for children and young people up to the age of 18. This allows families to combine creative work with a museum visit.
A Family Experience with Sustainable Learning Fun
At the end, the children will take home not only their own artwork but also new ideas for storytelling through images. Dream Worlds in Layers invites everyone to stay curious, invent unusual figures, and take their imagination seriously. Those who try art themselves experience the exhibition and creativity in an especially direct way.
Conclusion: Families can look forward to a imaginative art afternoon with collages, fantasy creatures, and inspiring impressions from the world of Annette Barcelo. Save the date now and discover the creative family experience live at ZKM Karlsruhe.
