Activities for Children over the Summer Holidays
During the summer holidays, The Mosaic Rooms is open and offers multiple family friendly events!
Here is this summer’s program for you and your young ones to enjoy :
Every week Tuesday–Sunday, 11am–6pm
Outdoor Play Commission: Come and play with RESOLVE Collective’s Tools for Solidarity in the gallery’s garden. Open Tuesday to Sunday from 11am-6pm with play worker Zareen who’s around to play on Saturdays!
Lesson Plan Activities (Lesson Plans are self-led play guides for Tools for Solidarity by RESOLVE Collective, with contributions by a wider artist ecology. Pick up your Lesson Plan in our garden, or download, fold and print your zines with links below.)
‘You Draw My Hum’: British-Iranian artist Nia Fekri shares how to compose and visualise sounds. Get ready for an exciting Sound-hunting adventure and explore the world of sounds. Use this lesson plan with a friend, and make music with drawings using pens, paper and everyday materials. DOWNLOAD
‘Yalla Seeding‘: Create your own seed balls using clay, compost, and wildflower seeds! In July, the ‘NURTURE?’ tool of Tools for Solidarity has been activated by Palestinian artist Mohammad Saleh, whose work incorporates seed bombs. In this lesson plan, Saleh invites you to learn about his work in Palestine and the practice of seed bombing. Use this lesson plan to create your own seed balls using clay, compost, and wildflower seeds. DOWNLOAD
Sensory Play: Discover the gallery through senses during Sensory Play, every Wednesday from 11am to 2pm. Let your children explore our wonderful collection of sensory objects. Find soft, colourful objects scattered around the gallery which are inspired by The Mosaic Rooms’ spaces and surroundings.
