Suitable for children aged 5–12 years with their parents and carers.

ABOUT FAMILY SPACE JAN – APR 2025

Family Space is a programme of free workshops that take place on the last Saturday of the month. Sessions are self-directed and designed for families with children aged 5-12 years old. The space is supported by the SLG’s Art and Play team.

From January to April 2025, sessions will be led by Family Space Artist in Residence Fungai Marima. Fungai’s workshops will explore memory through lino printing, memorial making and sound. The residency will end with a celebratory session in April, displaying the collective work of participating families.
