From which direction does the sun rise? In what direction is North Star? What are the properties of magnets, whose power derives from Earth’s magnetic core, and how do they aid us in finding directions? In this workshop we explore the magnetic force of magnets and create our own compass using the Indian rope trick experiment. We learn about different concepts, such as magnetic force and magnetic field lines, while improving our focus and attention.

Memory of Objects

Memory of Objects

In his book exploring the cultural history of souvenirs, Rolf Potts discusses how such objects assume meaning through personal stories: Objects turn into memories with the stories they hold.

Memory of the Region

Memory of the Region

Objects also bear the memory of the geography to which they relate. Ceramics, with soil as their primary material, are directly linked to the land where they are produced: forging a direct relationship with earth, ceramics bear the memory of the soil where they come from.

Remembering the Future

Remembering the Future

How can the future be imagined by looking at a collection or an archive? The lasting quality of ceramics allows us to ponder how the future might be remembered through a ceramics collection, since they render conceivable time eternal.
