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!

Sundays 13.00–15.00
No prior experience needed!
Limited spots available – come early!
SEK 50/session.
For ages 6 and up.
Wear clothes you don’t mind getting messy.

Monster Club: The Figure Grows
In this club we give space to the Figure. Who is he? We get to ask. Who knows him? Everyone – and no one. We don’t really know where he comes from. Maybe from our hands. Maybe from the floor. Maybe it has always existed, but waited to be shaped. We build together, without a blueprint, without answers. With fabric, tape, cardboard, strings, something soft, something stiff, something that pulls and something that holds back. Something begins to take shape. Something moves, stretches, utters something we don’t yet understand. The figure grows.
Monster educator: Hugo Hedberg, choreographer and artist
18 January 1–3 P.M.
Monster Club: The Materials Speak
What if the materials know more than we think? That they are not just something we use – but that we become something together with them. Here we let go of control. We move with materials as if they are already in motion. Maybe they shape us as much as we shape them? With exciting techniques and processes we test what happens when body, time, place and matter cannot be separated. Here we get to follow, disturb, sense and respond to what is happening between us and the material. Together we practice listening, even when we don’t know what we are hearing.
Monster educator: Hannah Wiker Wikström, artist and filmmaker
25 January 1–3 P.M.
Monster Club: The Threads Think
What can fabric do – besides being soft? In this club we get tangled up in the world of textiles. We sew, tie, cut and weave. We lay fabrics on the floor, on the body, in the air. With needle, scissors, thread and pieces of fabric we build something that might be worn, hidden, hung up or just carried us on towards new soft horizons.

Monster Club: Sculptures are calling
Together we explore the endless flows of the world of sculpture. We transform and renew, fold and print, cut and paste, knead and clap. Here we let our hands think and our brains dream far away… until the call of the sculptures calls us back.

Monster club: Painting Seeks
What happens if the picture doesn’t represent anything? If we paint without knowing what it’s going to be? Here we work with abstract painting – colors, movements, layers and surfaces that may resemble something, but don’t have to. We let our bodies lead, follow impulses, test what happens if we wait and rest our thoughts. We paint slowly and quickly, with a brush, sponge or hands – and see what emerges. In the still, in the unexpected, in what has not yet taken shape. Painting responds, whispers, hesitates and seeks – just like us.
Monster educator: Sofia Heinonen, artist
26 April 1–3 P.M.
Monster Club: Star Stuff Moss
Come and create your own closed ecosystem in a jar – a mini-cycle that lives its own life. With soil, moss, stones, plants and perhaps small sculptures we build worlds where the human is not at the center. We talk about how everything is connected: moisture, growing, decaying, time. A mix of ecology, art and speculative play – where we create something that continues on without us.
