#TeleMuseion #TakePart: I transform! - creative laboratory

A creative workshop for children between 4 and 11 years old in just a few steps to do at home, explained step by step with this little video!

Botanical gardens, plants such as lavender and rue, fantastic animals, smells and perfumes, fabrics, baroque costumes… the world of Mercedes Azpilicueta (La Plata, Argentina 1981) is imaginative and exotic and welcomes us in a special atmosphere recreated to give us the feeling of having every sense at attention.

It can also be done at home, allowing yourself to be fascinated by this journey in search of the “bestiary” that appears on the walls of the fourth floor of the museum: a collection of fantastic beings created by the combination of different anthropomorphic, animal and plant elements. Women with wings or in the shape of a house but also plants with seductive eyes and eyelashes, leaves with little feet and giant flowers. A corollary of images that will inspire children to create their own personal “bestiary element”.

The actual transformation occurs with the impersonation of a grotesque being and the consequent staging. With the help of chosen material we wear elements that will allow us to build a costume, absurd and improvised, imaginative or real… its being different from “normality” will be its strength, its richness that will allow us to reflect on the multiplicity of the world that surrounds us.

After watching the video tutorial, you can create your own bestiary creature. Through a photo of the costume we invite you to share the result on Instagram or Facebook, in the form of a story or post, tagging Museion (IG: @museion_bz – FB: @Museion Bozen-Bolzano) and using the hashtags  #TeleMuseion #museichiusimuseiaperti .
Alternatively they can be sent to: visitorservices@museion.it
