Museum Rietberg Family workshops 2009  In continuation of the succesful collaboration in 2008, Manickam Yogeswaran and Ludwig Pesch again worked with the art education team of Museum Rietberg Zürich from 14 to 19 July 2009. Children from the age of 5 years and above cheerfully explored a world of wonder and creativity evoked by the museum's summer exhibition: bronze masks from the Tulunad region in coastal Karnataka. A two-day music workshop was offered for adult participants interested in a "hands-on" experience of participating in Carnatic music. Prior knowledge was not required. [pdf version: When masks dance – Bronze art from southern India]
Two special concerts were presented for young and grown up participants from both courses to round up their imaginative exploration of South Indian art and music.
