Inspired by the works of Lebohang Kganye

This workshop, inspired by Lebohang Kganye’s Le Sale ka Kgotso, uses memory to blur the lines between fact and fiction. Hosted by multi-sensory designer Dr. Caroline McMillan, you are introduced to the art of perfume composition and eventually guided through the process of creating your own scent based on a personal experience.

By the end of the workshop, you hold your own small perfume in your hands – a memory in a bottle to keep for yourself or use as an ideal (Christmas) gift for someone special.

With this ticket you can visit all of our other exhibitions as well.
