Join us for a special edition of Family Saturdays at Jameel Arts Centre, featuring a guided tour of the Youth Takeover 2025 – and a series of hands-on art making activities for all ages.
This edition offers a unique chance to gain an in-depth exploration of several works from our current exhibition Spoon Spade Shovel, the Youth Takeover 2025 exhibition curated and developed by the 2024-2025 cohort of the Assembly.
The tour, led by Assembly member Ayesha Fernandes, takes an in-depth look at the exhibition ‘Spoon Spade Shovel’ throughout the ground floor of the Centre, delving into the Takeover themes and exhibited works, the Assembly members, and the learning experience of the programme. Following the tour, families are invited to participate in a series of immersive self-led activities inspired by the Assembly members’ practices, including ecology, internet culture, sonic art and urban research.
The activities are free to attend and run all day to encourage and support creativity and imagination. Jameel Arts Centre strives to provide space for children to share stories, and to foster cultural awareness through artistic exploration that supports healthy child-development and growth.
Family Saturdays at the Jameel are suitable for all ages. All materials, step by step guides and instructional videos will be provided.
The tour begins at 11am and participants are welcome to drop by and enjoy the activities until 2pm.
This programme is organised by the Assembly 2024-2025 member Ayesha Fernandes as part of the 2025 Youth Takeover.
