THE EVENT<\/h2> <\/header>\n\n \n
\n
\n
\n \n
\n On the occasion of Mother\u2019s Day, the Museum of Cycladic Art organizes and implements a specially designed workshop for expectant mothers inspired by the exhibition Jeff Koons: “Venus” Lespugue <\/i> and the enduring representation of the female form throughout the history of art.\n <\/div>\n \n \n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n
\n
\n

From the Paleolithic Venuses to Jeff Koons\u2019s contemporary Balloon Venus<\/em>, the female body emerges as a vessel of life, fertility, continuity, and transformation. Drawing on this long visual and symbolic lineage, the workshop offers a space for reflection on motherhood as a bodily, emotional, and deeply intergenerational experience.<\/p>\n

Through a guided session, participants will have the opportunity to explore the relationship between memory, the body, and the transition into motherhood; to reflect on the bonds and experiences that shape us, and to consider the possibility of forming a more conscious connection with this new phase of life.<\/p>\n

In dialogue with Koons\u2019s work, the body appears not as a static image, but as a site of transformation, expectation, and continuity. Art becomes here a starting point for observation, reflection, and connection, illuminating motherhood both as a personal experience and as part of a broader human and female history.<\/p>\n

The workshop has been\u00a0 conceived and will be led by\u00a0 Dr Meropi Michaleli, psychoanalyst specializing in early imprinting and parenthood, founder of KOITIDA, and author of the book Paths of Parenthood<\/em> (Papadopoulos Publications).<\/p>\n\n \n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n
