CLAYGROUND: Community Installation – Individual Boundaries, Shared Space

Clayground is a one-day community ceramics experiment in which visitors become part of the process by contributing to the shaping of a collective clay installation. Functioning as a kind of social modelling, the project demonstrates how individual decisions influence a shared object. The programme explores the dynamics between the individual and the community, the possibilities of crossing boundaries, and the power of creating together. Throughout the day, anyone may interact with the clay mass on display – freely shaping it and even expressing momentary emotions through it. There are no instructions, expectations, or constraints – each participant decides independently how much of themselves to reveal. The aim is for strangers, arriving at different times and independently of one another, to connect through the making of a shared object. The event will take place on Saturday, 18 October 2025, from 12.00 PM to 6.00 PM, at AMMA Studio (1085 Budapest, 36 Mária Street).
