On Sunday, April 23, there will be an art workshop at the Maritime Museum in Reykjavík from 13.30-15.30, called We are Earth – We are Water, after the exhibition in the Machine room.

In this workshop, there will be an open flow for people to come and touch various colours. The hand guides us through the different manifestations of our inner worlds as ever-changing chemical compounds, either liquid or solid forms. We are nature in all its forms. Our bodies are made of the same material. We touch on this complexity by bringing out our inner worlds through different forms. This process of transformation refers to nature as our teacher. In the artistic process, we remember life's infinite diversity and unpredictability. Where really anything could appear. We can't control everything; the same can be said about the material. No matter if it's our bodies, nature, or whatever artistic medium we choose. Many things appear to us in the unexpected.

We encourage participants to view the exhibition We are Earth – We are Water and get inspired before attending the art workshop. At the exhibition, we get an unusual insight into the beautiful forms of nature. A poetic view of the tiny in the huge, which technological innovations give us. At the same time, the work is a dreamlike visual play with ever-changing forms constantly created around us but not by us; we usually don't notice. We are invited on a journey almost into the materials themselves, their amalgamation and the transformation process.

The visual artist Andrea Ágústa Aðalsteinsdóttir leads the workshop. 

The workshop is part of the Children's Culture Festival, and admission is free. Everyone is welcome.

Accessibility: The museum is spread across two floors with good access for people with disabilities. There's a visitor lift between floors and automatic doors via the main entrance on Grandagarður. Guide dogs are welcome at the museum.

Bus service 14 stops on Grandagarður close to the museum's main entrance.
