Relaxation workshop

Can contemporary art encourage us to relax? What works were created through meditation techniques or mindfulness practices? During the workshop we will learn to observe works of art slowly and attentively and learn about and try different relaxation techniques — breathing, grounding, supporting concentration and helping to relax.
