In this creative workshop, Reem Maghribi guides participants on an intuitive artistic journey through drawing, writing, design and construction to create ephemeral expressions of a perpetual Palestine. Crayons, pens, threads and wood are all tools on a playful curiosity-fuelled migration towards a collective expression of home and homeland.

This public workshop is one of a series of three hosted by The Showroom. Works created by participants throughout the series will be presented in a pop-up exhibition in The Showroom’s studio space. All participants are invited and encouraged to attend the exhibition opening on Thursday, 9 April, 6-9 pm, and to engage in a collective reflection on the themes and processes explored.

The studio exhibition will be open to the public from Friday 10 – Saturday 25 April during usual gallery opening hours: Wednesday - Saturday 12–6pm
