Three-Day Fall Break Workshop: Tue–Thu / Oct. 20–22, 2026 / 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
For centuries, people have used portraits to show who they are—or how they want to be seen. Personal, staged, self-assured, or something entirely different. In this exhibition, we’ll explore portraits spanning five centuries and ask: What do these images reveal about the people depicted in them?
In the studio, the focus is on your own perspective of yourself. You’ll experiment with different techniques and create your own personal self-portrait. How do you want to present yourself? What do you want to convey about yourself—you decide how and with what means you’ll portray yourself.
Participation fee for all three days: 36 euros
Limited number of participants. Online registration required. Translated with DeepL
