Family Workshop: What Is Sitting in My Belly?

What do children dislike? What are they afraid of? And what if they are afraid of drawing? That is fine. Instead of a pencil, they will try scratching, folding, cutting and other material experiments. They will let fear find its own form - and perhaps it will not seem so frightening in the end.

The workshop for children loosely follows the exhibition Annette Messager: Tragikomedie, which moves between playfulness and unease. More important than a perfect picture are experiment, intuition and finding a personal way to give inner feelings and fears a form.

The session is led by illustrator and visual artist Dora Dutková, who enjoys experimenting with materials and image-making methods. She is the author of the books Papaver: Dobrodružství botaniky and Alice.

Recommended age: 4-10 years; children aged 4-6 only with an adult. The event is part of Festival umění a kreativity 2026.
