Vítuka - Towards an Education of the Senses invites participants to engage in a workshop featuring tools such as kites, fluorescent pens, inks, and brushes. These tools allow participants to reflect on their responses to the planetary challenges we all face today, seeking to consider solutions to shared crises and build collective forms of sustainable living. The project aims to deepen sensory engagement and to promote appreciation of Indigenous aesthetic expressions and environmental interconnectedness. As a hands-on artistic and cultural intervention, "Vítuka" creates a welcoming space for sharing concerns, emotions, and life stories. 

This kites created at the workshop Vítuka - Towards an Education of the Senses will be featured in the eponymous installation Vítuka - Towards an Education of the Senses in the theatre park.
