Workshop | Forum of Democracy

Do you enjoy meeting new people? Are you interested in cultural exchange? Would you like to spend a day immersing yourself in the world of contemporary art? 

We are looking for people just like you for our ‘Forum of Democracy’ workshop.

Participation is free of charge and is not remunerated. 

Forum of Democracy views democracy as a collaborative creative process. The project translates democratic values such as participation, equality and dialogue into an artistic practice that brings together people from diverse backgrounds. Each participant will create their own tiles from clay on the theme of democracy, based on a concept developed collectively.  

Clay is the core element of the project. As an easily accessible material, it allows all participants immediate creative engagement. Participants will work within and interact with the exhibition The Hearth Room by Austrian artists Christoph Meier and Ute Müller at Casino Luxembourg. 

An actual kiln, specially built on site in the main hall on the first floor, serves as a fireplace and a gathering place.
