Kids Day: Futurism . . . and make it fashionable!

On Sundays at 3 pm, free workshops for children aged 4 to 10 take place at the museum. Younger visitors are introduced to art in an accessible and engaging way, and are also given the opportunity to learn and explore various topics and experiment with different art techniques.

In the Antineutral Suit: Futurist Manifesto (1914), Giacomo Balla writes that Futurist clothes will feature colored fabrics with dynamic patterns and shapes, such as triangles, cones, spirals, ellipses, and circles. They will be joyful, full of illuminating color— “the most violet violet, the reddest of red, the deepest of blues, the greenest of greens, brilliant yellows, vermilions, and oranges” —and asymmetrical. In this way, “anyone can invent a new suit, at any moment.”
Let’s enter into the spirit of the Venice Carnival and get inspired by the words of Giacomo Balla! Together we will create our own fashionable Futurist masterpieces . . . and then dress up!
