The Traveling Workshop transforms every corner of the museum and botanical garden into a space for artistic exploration, engaging with diverse artistic languages. Each week, the workshop travels to a new location, inviting participants to explore how different spaces help us discover new ways to create and experience art and nature.

Check out the Traveling Workshop program for May.

• Headlines from the Future, by Clara Duarte ↓

  This workshop reimagines the printed newspaper—not as a record of reality, but as a gateway to the impossible, the improbable, and the yet-to-come. Through absurd headlines and stories that challenge the logic of the present, we will invent a time that does not respond to calendars or algorithms.
