CREATIVE SESSIONS FOR KIDS
Kids is a project that introduces families and children to contemporary art with instruments and ideas that arouse curiosity and an understanding of the thoughts and techniques of today’s artists, through materials and experiences that are new and different every time.
Pupils can explore temporary exhibitions “Short-circuits” by Chen Zheh and “Digital Mourning” by Neïl Beloufa, and immerse themselves in Anselm Kiefer’s permanent installation The Seven Heavenly Palaces 2004-2015 while remaining comfortably at home. During the activities, the sessions are accompanied by contributions and ideas that help the pupils enter into the artists’ world of the imagination, thus turning them into young art explorers.

That’s a Whole Other Story
A camel, some desert foxes and a colony of ants are the stars in one of the works in the Neïl Beloufa exhibition: together with the Pirelli HangarBicocca arts tutors, let’s find out the story behind them and have fun creating new fairy tales of our own!

Framed memories
One of the towers built by Anselm Kiefer is called Torre dei Quadri Cadenti and indeed many pictures with just glass and frame hang between its various floors and at its feet. Let’s try filling them with our favourite images and memories and take them with us on a magical journey.

Another book
Anselm Kiefer loves travelling, reading and studying and that’s why he inserted many books made of a curious material in The Seven Heavenly Palaces 2004-2015 – let’s see what the material is and then we can create a book of your own and add it to the artist’s!

Lines and Colours at Play
Just a simple line and a few colours – such as yellow, red and blue – can come together in countless ways and turn into shapes and pictures that are never the same. Taking inspiration from the works in Neïl Beloufa’s exhibition, let’s play with lines and colours and let our imagination run wild!

Artful constellations
The stars and the sky have always fascinated artists, who portray them in ways that are always different but equally evocative. Inspired by Anselm Kiefer’s permanent installation The Seven Heavenly Palaces 2004-2015, which we can see on Google Arts & Culture’s Street View platform, let’s work with the arts tutors to create a personal constellation of our own!
Book nowUseful Information
Creative sessions in the exhibition spaces are temporarily suspended, but with the aim of keeping art open and accessible to all we offer online activities and projects.
The Educational Department offers a series of free live-streamed digital courses for children aged 6 to 10, in which the kids will be accompanied by Pirelli HangarBicocca arts tutors on a journey through the wonders of contemporary art, from the comfort of their own homes!
