Guided Tours and Workshops in Sign Language

Implemented in collaboration with Hands Up, the program aims to provide Deaf and hard-of-hearing people with opportunities to learn, explore and socialize in a welcoming and safe cultural environment, ensuring that every visitor can enjoy the museum experience without barriers.

In April, May, June and September, guided tours were held for mixed groups of Deaf, hard-of-hearing and hearing visitors, exploring both the temporary exhibition and the permanent collections. These tours encouraged interaction between hearing and non-hearing visitors in an open and inclusive environment.

In November and December, three workshops will be held for Deaf and/or hard-of-hearing participants, with simultaneous interpretation into Greek Sign Language.

“Screen Printing Workshop with Loupes!”

Drawing inspiration from the exhibits at the Museum of Cycladic Art, as well as from their personal experiences, participants will create one or two collaborative artworks using handmade film techniques.

They will then use screen printing to transfer their designs onto two canvas tote bags and two posters per person, which they can take home with them. Participants are also welcome to bring a light-colored T-shirt to print, if they wish!
