Treasure Hunt - Expressive Arts
Wednesday, May 28, 3 pm - 5.30 pm
Participants will embark on a treasure hunt full of unexpected beauties during this session. Drawing, poetry and play will guide us. Where might the treasure be hidden? What wonders will we discover along the way? No prior artistic experience is needed—just curiosity!

More about the workshop:
This workshop is based on the methods and techniques of the Expressive Arts field and invites you to engage in a creative process. As a trained expressive arts facilitator, my role is to guide the group through various artistic disciplines—such as drawing, painting, writing, poetry, music, and movement—not only to connect with the body, but also to help create a supportive environment. This space encourages connection and exchange among participants, allowing them to share a unique experience and witness each other’s creative journeys.
Through the creative process our goal is to enhance our ability to wonder, to playfully explore, and to experience joy by bringing imagination back into our lives and reintegrating creativity into our daily routines.
How do we do that?
During the session we will explore a theme and an art form that can guide us into the creative process.
The theme of our session: "Treasure hunt"
I invite you to embark on a treasure hunt, full of unexpected beauties. Where might the treasure be hidden? What wonders will we discover along the way?
We will first get to know each other and and start engaging with the arts. Drawing, music and play will guide us.

Please note:
This workshop follows a low-skill, high-sensitivity approach. That means no prior artistic experience is needed—just a curiosity to explore what emerges throughout the process. Everyone interested is warmly welcome. In fact, having no experience can even be an advantage, as our focus is not on the final product, but on the unexpected surprises that arise through the creative process.

Ogül Büber Ottitsch
Alongside her work as a curatorial assistant at the Graz Museum since 2021, Ogül Büber-Ottitsch is completing her training in the Expressive Arts Therapy Program for Mental Health, Education, and Social Change. She is supervised by Aylin Vartanyan Dilaver, a lecturer at the EUROPEAN Graduate School EGS and the Expressive Arts Institute Istanbul. The insights gained from this three-year training flow directly into the workshop offered here.

Before immersing herself in the world of Expressive Arts, Büber-Ottitsch practiced (performative) storytelling. She learned this art from storytellers in Turkey and organized storytelling events in Austria, Germany, and Turkey, performing stories in German, English, and Turkish. She also initiated and organized a storytelling festival at the Museum für Geschichte Graz in collaboration with the Caritas Academy, where multilingualism was the central theme. Participants were invited to perform their favorite fairy tales in their native languages.
