The ever active Educational Department under the guidance of curator Bojana Janeva, joined by artists participating in some of the current exhibitions of the Museum of Contemporary Art Skopje, organized a series of activities in December, bringing together art, museum programs, and activism.
On December 13, a joint action was carried out – landscaping the path to the MSU with “The Gardener” as part of a broader campaign, “Institutional Gardens” by artist Zorica Zafirovska. The work initiative was followed by the “MSU Guide” by curator Bojana Janeva through the exhibitions The Land That Constantly Rethinks curated by Rick Dolfijn and “Everything We Have in Common,” curated by Mira Gaćina and Jovanka Popova at the MSU.

On December 15, a walk through the exhibitions “The Land That Constantly Rethinks” and “Everything We Have in Common” was realized at the MSU with students from the 9th grade, under the guidance of teacher Kristina Pavloska.
The students also actively participated in the educational workshop on making seed balls with Dimitar Samardziev from the “Green Ark” organized as part of a larger campaign by the artist Zorica Zafirovska, within the framework of the exhibition “Everything We Have in Common”.
The workshop is intended for children and adults, who will learn about the process of their making and their usefulness in planting flowers, herbs and trees in different terrain regions and seasons. Participants will learn how to combine clay, seeds and fertilizer to create balls, which will help in the restoration of flower fields and meadows. By making and sharing them, participants are encouraged to become dedicated guardians of the environment.
