The Traveling Workshops considers every space at the museum and botanical garden to be a place to experience involving various artistic languages. Each week, our workshop moves to a different location, inquiring into how each space helps us discover new ways to create and experience art and nature. 

Check out the Traveling Workshop program for January. 

• Summer Words, by Filipe Camato ↓

  During the sunniest season of the year, Inhotim’s visitors are called to reflect on leisure drawing on the museum’s collection. What do we do when there is nothing to do? Inside the work Piscina (2009) by Jorge Macchi, words and phrases will be constructed to remind us of the importance of rest. Bring your swimsuit. 

  Capacity: 25 participants | Duration: 2 hours | Location: Jorge Macchi, Piscina (2009) [A15]* | Registration: On-site starting at 2:00 p.m. | Age Rating: All ages.

  *In the event of rain, the activity may be canceled. 

• Recreating Images and Narratives: The Art of Manual Collage , with Domitila de Paulo (Minas Gerais) ↓

  Manual collage is an invitation to experiment: by cutting out and removing images from their original contexts, we create scenarios and narratives, giving new meaning to what we see. In this workshop, led by artist Domitila de Paulo, we will dive into this process, experiencing the gesture of cutting beyond normative formats and what is obvious to construct unprecedented meanings. 

  Capacity: 25 participants | Duration: 2 hours | Location: Galeria Praça [G3]* |Registration: On-site starting at 2:00 p.m. | Age Rating: All ages  

• Watercolor of Plants, by Daniela Brandão and Victória Brandão ↓

  Through the encounter of art and nature, Inhotim’s Education team invites visitors to examine the compositions, shapes, contrasts and various color patterns found in the species of the Botanical Garden. The activity encourages detailed observation and perception of the landscape in an exercise that uses watercolor to inspire participants to express and perceive the surrounding environment.

  Capacity: 25 participants | Duration: 2 hours | Location: Jardim Sombra e Água Fresca [J8]* | Registration: On-site starting at 2:00 p.m. | Age Rating: All ages

• What Do You Carry in Your Bag?, with Juliana de Oliveira (Minas Gerais) ↓

  What do you carry in your bag, wallet or pants pocket every day? Makeup, a pen, or an identity card? In the workshop What Do You Carry in Your Bag?, artist Juliana de Oliveira invites us to reflect on how the objects we carry reflect our stories, personalities and desires through the technique of sculpture.

• Deconstructing Boundaries, by Fernanda Morais ↓

  In the search for new meanings, we transform grilles into forms of expression that lead us to imagine life beyond limits. Either as a physical barrier or as a metaphor for life, they are present in the works of some artists from the Inhotim collection, such as Dóris Salcedo, Cildo Meireles and Rommulo Vieira Conceição. In this workshop, each participant will create unique interventions in grilles and canvases, giving new meaning to the possibilities of freedom and overcoming obstacles. 

  Capacity: 25 participants I Duration: 2 hours | Location: Rommulo Vieira Conceição, O espaço físico pode ser um lugar complexo, abstrato e em construção (2021) [A25]* | Registration: On -site starting at 10:30 a.m. | Age Rating: All ages

• Transfiguring Gardens, by Paula Libertad ↓

  Inspired by the pictorial elements in Carroll Dunham’s work Garden 1-5 (2008) and by stimuli around the gallery, which features both planned landscapes and spontaneous vegetation, we invite participants to create the elements and entities that make up a garden. Seeds, leaves, branches, threads, wool, beads, sisal, modeling supplies, and wood will be used.
