What Does a Potato Dream About?

The potato is an iconic element in the work of Agnès Varda, and we want to pay tribute to this simple basic food with a workshop to explore the various artistic possibilities of tubers. We’ll use different techniques: rubbing, potato printing, and painting the potatoes’ shadows with a paintbrush. Then we’ll transform the results by making drawings, paintings, scans or collages and, all together, create a small collection of dreaming potatoes.

An artistic experimentation workshop to encourage children’s imagination and the emancipatory capacity of creation. The activity begins with a visit to the exhibition Agnès Varda. Photograph, Film, Recycle to discover the filmmaker’s various works that feature potatoes.
