Join a workshop at Vleeshal during the Exhibition The Directions by Hannah Black: 'Tape Your Own Path!'

The solo exhibition The Directions by Hannah Black showcases how she navigates life as a person, mother, and artist, and which places play a role in her journey. The title of the exhibition refers to navigation and the directions you can take. Black explores how you move through the world. What directions can you go in? What guides you along the way?

During the workshop 'Tape Your Own Path!', children will first be guided through the exhibition upon arrival at Vleeshal. The exhibition features an installation in the form of a maze, where visitors can wander and encounter various elements along the way. The children will be led through the maze by the instructor and will receive explanations about aspects of navigation and the importance of making choices.

After the tour, the students will participate in a workshop on how to create graphics using tape. They will work on a project centered around the following questions: Who is your reference point? When you have to make a choice but are unsure, who can you turn to? When something happens that might not be so pleasant, who is there to help you?

During this workshop, the children will come to the important realization that making choices doesn’t always have to be done alone, and there’s no need to be afraid of it. The goal of the workshop is to empower children in the process of making choices.

In the second part of the workshop, the children will make choices in a playful way on a large canvas. Statements will be given, and the children will make their own choices. They will use tape to create paths based on the choices they make, determining the direction of their own tape-maze. The statements will vary by age group but will focus on everyday decisions, helping children become more aware that they are already making choices daily. The workshop highlights that not everyone makes the same choice, and that’s okay.

By depicting all the individual choices in tape on a large canvas, a collective artwork is created that represents the choices of the class. To register for a workshop, send a message to office@vleeshal.nl.
