All welcome. Limited slots, pre-registration required

The Assembly-led Walk-shops are a series of intimate, evening sessions running across the Youth Takeover 2026, each one anchored to a specific curatorial project within Not the Season and facilitated by the Assembly members behind it. Rather than observing the exhibition, participants enter it from the inside: through movement, writing, perception and reflection. Each session is limited to 15 participants.

Some facets of mine exist, not by choice, but by necessity.

Assembly members Andres Ugartechea, Poorvaja Subramanian and Vaishnavi Pramodh hold The Space between Structures, a quiet, time-based gathering drawing from Vaishnavi’s curatorial provocation An Upwards Metamorphosis, and anchored by a single statement. The session moves between private writing and unstructured conversation — without agenda, without expectation of contribution, without synthesis. Silence is welcome. Participants leave with their own observations.

The Space Between Structures was developed by Poorvaja Subramanian as part of the Youth Takeover 2026.

Andrés Ugartechea is a multidisciplinary fine arts and interactive media artist specialising in VR and 3D sculpting. His identity factors describe him as a Mexican-American first-generation individual. Each of these aspects plays a pivotal role in shaping his concepts, centering on migration, labour and the representation of minorities.

Poorvaja Subramanian is a graphic designer whose work spans brand identities, visual systems, exhibition identity and publications. Through narrative and storytelling, she explores the essence of each project, exploring how personal and collective histories take shape through time, often using play and experimentation as her primary tool.

Vaishnavi Pramodh is an Indian-born, UAE-raised filmmaker and art director, whose works use humour and irony to explore the complex and transient nature of immigrant life. Influenced by her background in the visual arts, she uses surreal narratives and satirised visual motifs to explore identity, fear and loss of the self under rigid societal frameworks.
