Meeting Point: Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst: In front of the museum entrance on the ground floor inside the building (near the sign).

The collaboratively designed Art and Healing Workshop Series with the Living Museum Zurich has been taking place regularly since 2023 at the Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst or the Living Museum Zurich. The workshops create a space for encounters between people with and without psychiatric experiences or mental health topics.

In this open, co-creative environment, we will explore the theme of “Resonance and Resilience” throughout the autumn. Inspiration comes from Canción de Amor, the exhibition by artist Nicole L’Huillier at the Migros Museum. Her sound installations only unfold through the active participation of visitors, creating a space in which sound and body enter into resonance and new forms of togetherness can be experienced.

In the studio, we will work with paint, paper, textiles, and natural as well as everyday materials. The workshops encourage connection, solidarity, collective artistic exploration, and the strengthening of personal resources.

The workshop series will conclude with a public presentation of the artworks created during the sessions as part of a vernissage at the Living Museum Zürich.
