As part of ACCESS TO DANCE 2026 – organised by JOINT ADVENTURES – Marta Navaridas and Alexander Deutinger invite you to an extraordinary guided tour of the State Museum of Egyptian Art (SMÄK) in Munich.

In preparatory workshops, the artists are guided through the museum by the pupils whilst blindfolded. The children describe the architecture, exhibition spaces and exhibits from their own perspective; their observations are recorded and transcribed. This material is used to create an artistic museum tour for adults that challenges conventional approaches to art education and allows visitors to experience the works with curiosity, imagination and disarming directness. The project explores different concepts of art education.

Whilst museum discourse is often perceived as exclusive or difficult to access, this raises the question of how art can be communicated without reducing its complexity. ‘Emancipation of Wonder’ opens up a new approach to this: the children’s poetic, humorous and often surprising interpretations invite us to question ingrained ways of seeing and to experience art beyond established interpretations.
