The opening season of Hayy Explorers takes inspiration from the upcoming Hayy Arts exhibition as well as it looks at landscapes, seascapes, coastal areas, and movement in between both. These themes also fall in line with the Explorers philosophy of observing, experimenting, and discovering the world around us with all our faculties and then creating by being inspired from it.
Join us for our opening weekend programme including a selection of walk-in activities, workshops, screenings, performances, and an ice cream pop-up!
