Here in Vic, Catalonia, “Aquí i Allà. Terra i Cel al mateix temps” is a hands-on family workshop that folds together art, astronomy and geology in a bright room near the town center. Run in connection with the exhibition Joan Miró. Cercles, the session invites kids and adults to translate earthquake movements and planetary orbits—ideas Miró explored—into line, circle and motion on paper.
The workshop begins with a short presentation of Miró’s 1965 cover for the children’s magazine Cavall Fort and pieces from his Cercles portfolio. Participants use simple drawing tools to map seismic traces, sketch orbital arcs and create abstract compositions that echo both planetary motion and the stresses that shape Earth’s crust. That blending of scientific phenomena and Miró’s vocabulary—bold circles, playful lines and floating forms—makes the activity both an accessible art lesson and a tactile primer on geology and astronomy.
This family-friendly program is ideal for children aged six and up. Sessions typically last about an hour, focused on observation, experimentation and low-stakes making rather than formal instruction. Marta Ricart Masip, listed as the artist and co-curator in charge, guides the group through prompts that encourage close looking and playful problem-solving. Materials are basic—paper, pencils, ink and simple tools—so the emphasis stays on translation and imagination.
What sets this experience apart is its local cultural framing. Held in Vic, a Catalan town with a lively civic square and long craft traditions, the workshop connects Miró’s international language to local curiosity about the earth beneath our feet and the sky above. It’s an unusual way to visit an art exhibition: you do more than look, you make a physical record of forces that shape landscapes, from tectonic fault lines to orbital geometry.
Practical details are straightforward: plan for a one-hour block, bring a sketchbook if you have one, and come ready to experiment. The activity is a good pick for mixed-age families and for adults who want a short, interpretive art experience that doubles as a creative science primer. Whether you’re a visiting family seeking an engaging indoor activity on a rainy day or a local looking for a new way to read Miró’s forms, this workshop turns museum learning into a playful act of drawing the world—both terrestrial and celestial.
The workshop’s materials and prompts favor experimentation over precision, so participants of varied skill levels leave with striking abstract pieces and a clearer sense of geological and orbital processes. It’s a compact cultural stop that pairs well with a stroll through Vic’s historic center and a visit to nearby museums. If you’re planning a family itinerary in Catalonia, slot this session into a morning of exploration—bring layered clothing for variable indoor light and a sense of curiosity.
The program is recommended for children aged six and up; younger siblings may attend with supervision but activities are geared to school-age kids.
