The Museum of Contemporary Art is pleased to invite you to take part in the first inclusive workshop of the new series The Sound of the Visible, designed for all interested visitors and adapted for blind and visually impaired participants. The workshop will be held on Sunday, December 14 2025, at 1 p.m. Participants will have the opportunity to engage with selected artworks from the museum collection currently on view in the exhibition Turning Points to Modernity: Art of Society 1900–1945 in a unique way.

The workshop is based on a multisensory approach to visual art, engaging the senses of smell, touch, and sound. Sighted participants will be invited to wear a blindfold and, together with blind and visually impaired visitors, experience artworks by activating other senses and inner perceptions.

The first workshop in the series will focus on Milan Milovanović’s painting Tsar Dušan’s Bridge on the Vardar (1907). Created in the early 20th century, this work is considered one of the emblematic paintings of Serbian Impressionism, depicting the old bridge as a monument of medieval Serbia and a political symbol of Serbian influence in the region of present-day North Macedonia.

How can we evoke impressionist motifs—such as light, reflections on the water surface, and the shimmering interplay of light and colour—through senses other than sight? What do paintings tell us, and what do they show? How do we perceive the depiction of the Vardar bridge today, in the context of turbulent global events? These are some of the questions to reflect on, explore, and discuss together at the first workshop in the Sound of the Visible series.

The workshops are led by art historians Katarina Krstić (MoCAB), Senka Ristivojević, and Boris Dončić, accessibility coordinator.
