Espoo Museum of Modern Art
Wandering Workshop
Artist Meiju Niskala, together with her young assistants, invites EMMA visitors to experience art and the museum space from a fresh perspective. Each participant receives a wandering kit that reveals unexpected details in both the familiar museum environment and the artworks on display.
The workshop explores how to adventure in a place you think you know: slowing down, taking the wrong turn, moving against the flow, and getting pleasantly lost. You can join the workshop at any time, and continue wandering independently throughout the museum.
Meiju Niskala is a multidisciplinary artist known for her talks, writings, and participatory art projects in public spaces. During her career of more than 20 years, over 150,000 people have taken part in her works. At the heart of Niskala’s practice are the encounters that emerge between people and new ways of experiencing the familiar.
