What We Carry
Join OG Youth Collective for a hands-on workshop responding to Sokari Douglas Camp’s Fashion & Fortune exhibition on National Windrush Day. Using pierced aluminium, embossing, metal painting, fabric and weaving, we will create wearable tokens exploring what we carry, protect, transform and reveal as we move between places, histories, identities and versions of ourselves.
No experience is needed — just bring curiosity and a willingness to experiment with materials and ideas!
You can sign up to join the OG Youth Collective via the form available here or you can just drop-in on the session day.

Xanthe Somers: Poetic Threads
Exhibition Walk Through & Family Art Day
Free and open to families of all ages.
Please note: this event is first come first served and when we are at capacity, we have a one in one out policy.
Family Art Day offers the opportunity to explore the October Gallery with your family when the Gallery is usually closed to the public.
Suitable for all ages, join us for a special opportunity to explore the exhibition Poetic Threads with exhibiting artist Xanthe Somers and curator Eleri Fanshawe.
Little listeners can get busy with some art exploration, while you tour the Gallery together. Following the walkthrough, families will have the opportunity to sit and make together, creating your own artwork inspired by Somers’ bright ceramic vessels.
