Play Lab: Lum’a invites children and families into a series of gently unfolding workshops, where light moves across surfaces, filters through colour, and takes shape through open-ended, sensory-led play. Children take part in multicoloured shadow play, invent their own languages using gestures and shapes, and intervene in the space.
Inspired by the spirit and legacy of artist and curator Dia Batal, the programme draws on Arabic calligraphy, poetry, and storytelling to create multi-sensory play labs that are iterative, evolving, and responsive to participants. Each play lab invites new ways of sensing through shadow and light, gesture and symbol, texture, movement, and sound. In these spaces, light becomes a playful language, shifting, layered, and open to interpretation.
Materials encourage touch, slowness, and discovery, creating a space where light can be shaped and held. Lum’a is a place for noticing - small glimpses, quiet moments, and the wonder that lives in the spaces between.
