    I SEE YOU, YOU SEE ME – Portrait modelling workshop for mothers and their daughters

    “I See You, You See Me” workshop for the exhibition of Bernhard Heiliger, 5 October 2025. Photographer: Yevheniia Havrylenko. © Kunsthaus Dahlem, 2025.

    Workshop for German- and English-speaking mothers with their daughters aged 6 and up – with and without disabilities.

    About the workshop

    In this workshop, you will explore the unique bond between you. How do I experience you? What is your superpower? What do I love about you? Together, you can reflect on how special abilities and characteristics are expressed through facial features and body posture. Use the photo station to portray one another and take a photograph in which your strengths become visible. Afterwards, you can model a portrait of yourselves using clay or modelling dough.

    You can also draw inspiration from the portraits by the sculptor Bernhard Heiliger on view in the exhibition Bernhard Heiliger – The Female Heads. Whether realistic or shaped through your own forms and ideas – use your creativity and imagination to give your heads a vivid expression.

    With Marian Fuchs (art educator, artist) and Tanja-Bianca Schmidt (art historian, art educator)
