This session is the first Jameel Arts Centre workshop to focus on music and is held by guitar-maker, Basil Azizoghly. Participants will create their own percussion instrument to play but also keep. The workshop features an introduction to understanding sound and music and making-skills focusing on up-cycling and creativity.

Key workshop takeaways focus on looking at art but also on making and reflecting.
