Museum van de Geest | Dolhuys in Amsterdam to Host Barbara Tammes for 'Magic Click' Lecture
The Museum van de Geest | Dolhuys in Amsterdam has announced an upcoming lecture by Barbara Tammes, creative director of Studio FIK, centered on her new book, 'Magic Click.' Visitors are invited to attend on Thursday, April 24, 2025, as part of the museum's engaging lecture series Pressbericht: Museum van de Geest lezing: Barbara Tammes met Magic Click. The series consistently explores compelling topics related to mental well-being and artistic expression.
Unlocking Creative Thought with 'Magic Click'
Barbara Tammes is dedicated to making creative thinking accessible to everyone, a mission she elaborates on in her books, including 'Playmode' and her latest work, 'Magic Click.' This upcoming lecture will introduce attendees to the 'Magic Click' method, which transforms an everyday four-color pen into a powerful tool for fostering creativity.
The technique assigns a distinct way of observing and thinking to each color. By switching between colors, individuals can intentionally shift their perspective, effectively exercising their "mental agility" – a concept akin to a workout for the mind. This method allows for a unique form of self-dialogue on paper, enabling both structured reflection to organize thoughts and creative expression through playfully rearranging ideas.
A Monthly Exploration of Mind and Art
The lecture featuring Barbara Tammes is a highlight of the Museum van de Geest's broader monthly series, which takes place on the last Thursday of each month. These sessions invite visitors to engage with fascinating subjects that connect mental health with art.
Through a diverse lineup of speakers, the museum presents a unique blend of scientific insight, artistic perspectives, and personal narratives, enriching the understanding of the human mind and its complexities.
