In this series of meetings, Mariane Klettenhofer, co-founder of the group O Pequeno Colecionador, leads the public through a path of experiments linking certain features of contemporary art with common practices of various toys and games. The proposal "Playful-creative experiments: connections between art and toy/game" consists of five workshops inspired by selected works from the exhibition on view at Pina "For children: experiences with art since 1968", which serve as triggers for exercises involving different materials and ways of occupying space. Through collective actions, participants are invited to understand game and toy as distinct languages of expression, possible devices for imagination, and tools for thinking about the world. Throughout the sessions, manual work is experienced as part of a creative, playful, and reflective process, stimulating our capacity for invention and collective action. Prior registration is required. Registration via the link from 19/08 at 10 am to 28/08 at 6 pm, or until the 20 available spots are filled. Recommended for ages 16 and up. Free activity. The workshop proposal from Pina Contemporânea is another educational action aimed at providing a space for experimentation for the general public and enabling dialogue, socialization, and sharing of experiences. Dates: September 03, 10, 17, 24 and October 01. Time: Thursdays from 3:30 pm to 5:30 pm. Location: Ateliê Pinacoteca Contemporânea, Avenida Tiradentes, 273. Workshop leader: Mariane Klettenhofer holds a degree in architecture and urbanism from FAUUSP and a master's in art, philosophy, and critical thought from the European Graduate School. In 2018, she founded the project O Pequeno Colecionador in partnership with artist Artur Lescher, through which she works with research, education, and curation to bring the visual arts universe closer to the experience of playing. Among the projects realized are the Laboratory of Playful-Artistic Experiences, which was part of the exhibition "Arte é bom" at the Museum of Image and Sound (2022-2023), and "Tudo é arte, tudo é brinquedo", selected by the 10th Call for Projects for Mediation in Art and Cultural Citizenship (2023), promoted by the Centro Cultural São Paulo and the Municipal Secretariat of Culture of the City of São Paulo.
