Themed tour and creative workshop

Cartomancie créative

Discover the world of Niki de Saint Phalle through an experience where art meets esotericism, symbolism, and creation. This activity explores the tarot as reimagined by Niki de Saint Phalle.

Start by exploring the galleries with a guide, enjoying a themed tour that focuses on how the Marseille and Rider-Waite tarot decks influenced Niki de Saint Phalle’s practice. Learn about the symbolism of the cards and the ways the artist reimagined them in her projects.

After that, it’s time to get creative! Take part in a creative workshop in our bright Pierre Lassonde Pavilion workshop spaces, where you’ll get the opportunity to design your own card. Delve into your own inner world to reinterpret the Major Arcana of the tarot deck in the style of Niki de Saint Phalle!
