Discovering art playfully
The family program is accompanied by a mediator from the Manifesta 16 team. Families dive into the Biennale with simple, creative methods and experience art not just to look at, but to participate in. This is what makes learning fun for children: wonder, try, ask, and discover new perspectives together.

Child-friendly, open, and flexible
Especially family-friendly: children can join at any time or take a break, and the accompaniment by an adult is planned. The event is thus organized age-appropriately and suits families looking for a relaxed cultural experience without time pressure.
