This is a 2-day workshop for 12-17 year olds created for the programme of the exhibition ‘Global Positioning System’, and presented by the participating artist Hitesh Vaidya. 

This workshop is rooted in the everyday life of Jeddah; its streets, landmarks and sculptures, plants, neighborhoods and the routes we take through them. Young participants are invited to bring their memories of the city into dialogue with one another, weaving individual stories into a shared sense of place. The workshop surfaces common threads around belonging, home, and interdependence, making visible the landscape of shared memory.

The programme would culminate with a collective mural of Jeddah, its notable landmarks, and elements added to it by participants and the artist.
