KITSUNE-MASK WORKSHOP
Japan runs as a red thread through Luciano Castelli’s work – visible in his early self-portraits as well as his fascination with masks, rituals, and theatrical role-playing. At the Family & Friends Day, the focus is on creative exchange.
In the workshop with Roots+Wings Creative Studio, you will create your own traditional Kitsune mask – inspired by the magical fox spirits of Japanese folklore.
For children aged 4 and up.
Tip: Don’t wear your favorite clothes – it might get colorful!
