Join us for our upcoming children’s workshop Exploring Port Cities and Riverbanks at Jameel Arts Centre. In this workshop, children are invited to dive into an imaginative and interactive experience where they transform a sea of blue into a vibrant world of islands and trade routes! 

The workshop begins with an overview of the themes explored in At the Edge of Land exhibition and a discussion about port cities and riverbanks, their significance in trade and commerce, and their relationship with landscapes while emphasising the importance of positive peer relationships. Children engage in a landscape collage activity inspired by the exhibition, creating a collective artwork that reflects the interconnectedness of landscapes and trade. 

This engaging activity sparks creativity and collaboration and teaches children essential communication skills. Through the trading exercise, participants practice expressing thoughts and listening empathetically, and explore important topics such as peer pressure and decision-making.

This workshop is free to attend and is suitable for ages 8-12. No prior art experience is required. All materials and equipment are provided. To attend, please register here.
