Welcome to Marabouparken’s children’s activity the Monster Club! On Sundays and holidays, children from the age of 6 can investigate different artistic techniques, materials and experimental processes. The Monster Club is supervised by professional artists and experienced art educators. Our clubs are based on a special interest in man’s relationship with nature, but are also put in relation to ongoing exhibitions. We ask ourselves questions such as: what is art? What is nature? How does our inner world relate to our outer world? Come and help us answer those questions!

AUTUMN PROGRAM 2025

Monster Club Special – Boat Building in the Spirit of Finlay
Finally, the Monster Club is back – and what a great start! Inspired by our ongoing exhibition with Ian Hamilton Finlay and his world of poetry, sailor’s language and garden sculpture, we build our own little boats – loaded with words, symbols and the last wind of summer. We end the day by letting our craft sail out into the park’s splash pool. A warm welcome!
Monster educators: Hannah Wiker Wikström and the exhibition’s curator Erik Törnkvist
September 7, 1–3 p.m.
Monster Club: The Language of Sculpture
How can shapes and materials speak? Together we explore the language of sculpture – that which feels, whispers and tells without words. With fun materials and open minds we create sculptures that carry our thoughts and dreams. Here there is room for playfulness, seriousness and the unexpected. Come and create what does not yet exist!
Monster educator: Evelina Lindström, artist.
September 14th, 1–3 pm
Monster Club: The Figure is Born
How is a figure born? We bring shapes, movements and sounds to life that together create something completely unique. With lots of materials and dizzying senses, each figure becomes a new story. Welcome to create something (or someone…) that has never been seen before!
Monster educator: Hugo Hedberg, artist and choreographer
September 21, 1–3 p.m.
Monster Club: The Printing of Time
What can time leave behind on a surface? In The Printing of Time we explore printing techniques that capture traces, layers and memories. Using exciting methods and materials we create images that tell the story of transformation and the movement of time. Welcome to print, draw, press and discover the imprint of time!
Monster educator: Johanna Norrbin, art educator

Monster Club: The Melody of Painting
What lies in the depths of color? In this room we explore the world of painting beyond the visible – where color flows like a thought, a dream, a movement. Through layers, light and texture we create surfaces that tell a story without words, where every brushstroke carries its own melody. Come and let the colors sing!
Monster Educator: Evelina Lindström, artist
October 26, 1–3 p.m.
Monster Club: Textile Thoughts
What is textile art? With needle, scissors and thread we shape textiles into something new – something that flutters, tickles, scares and tells a story. Here the soft and the rough, the simple and the wonderful meet. Welcome to create and feel your way through the world of softness.
Monster educator: Avigal Pommert, textile artist and art educator
October 30th 1–3 pm Hallonbergen
Monster Club: My Other Self
With soft materials we create small textile books where two sides of a figure take shape – the ordinary and everyday one on the front, and its other self on the inside: perhaps mischievous, mysterious, scary or maybe just different. Here the familiar and the strange, the safe and the unexpected meet. Welcome to explore your other self in the world of softness.

Monster educator: Avigal Pommert, textile artist
Free admission!
Location: Hallonbergens bibliotek, Hallonbergsplan 5
October 31, 1–3 p.m.
Monster Club: Shadow Creatures
We embark on a journey through light and darkness, among sculptures and flickering video projections where the shadows seem to live their own lives. The strange impressions follow us into the art lab, where we create our own shadow creatures. When we capture them on film and let them return as projections on the walls, they come to life before our eyes… (Part of the World of Shadows, a spooky autumn holiday collaboration with Kulturskolan Sundbyberg and Sundbyberg Library)
Monster educators: Henning Rehnström Ring, artist and art educator and Malte Myrén Pettersson, game developer and game educator.
Free admission!
November 1, 1–3 p.m.
Monster Club: Shadow Creatures
At Saturday’s Monster Club we sink into the soft clay – cold, grainy and pliable to the slightest movement. We push, twist and squeeze, and see how the material slowly changes in our hands. Just like dreams and thoughts, clay can take unexpected forms, between fantasy and reality. This time we create characters in 3D, which are projected and transformed anew in the dark. In the dark, the clay’s shapes become shadow play that surprises both the hands and the imagination. (Part of Skuggornas värld, a creepy autumn holiday collaboration with Kulturskolan Sundbyberg and Sundbyberg’s library)
Monster educators: Malte Myrén Petterson, game developer and game educator, Cornelia Weiström Dahlin, ceramist and special educator.
Free admission!
November 2, 1–3 pm Hallonbergen
Monster Club: The figure is born (in the dark)
How is a figure born in the dark? From shadows, whispers and strange sounds, something unknown takes shape. With eerie materials and imagination as a compass, we bring to life figures that don’t quite belong in our world. Welcome to create something (or someone…) that peeks out of the darkness – a creature that has never been seen before.
