»Stories of objects«

This workshop focuses on the theme of the ‘object’: together, we will explore the cabinet of curiosities and select an object that particularly appeals to us. In doing so, we will explore the question of whether all objects are equally meaningful, or whether meaning arises only through personal experience. Among other things, we will ask: how does an object become a favourite?

This selection opens up new ways of engaging with the collection and links perception with individual memories. Through discussion, we reflect on what we see, think and feel, and consciously try to shift our perspective: how do other people perceive the same object? Afterwards, the participants get creative themselves and, in a small workshop, create their own object, inspired by their impressions and associations. In a concluding reflection, the different perspectives are brought together. The aim is to highlight the diversity of personal viewpoints, to document them and to engage in dialogue with one another.
