Join us for a special youth tour of the ‘Redrawing the Boundaries‘ exhibition at Hayy Jameel, led by curator Dr. Aisha Stoby. To celebrate the launch of our new youth guide, this tour is designed specifically for children ages 6 and up, accompanied by their parents.

Dr. Stoby will guide young explorers through both floors of the exhibition, offering an engaging and accessible look at the artworks and the stories behind them. It’s a fantastic opportunity for families to discover the exhibition in a new way and for kids to learn directly from the expert who helped create it.

This programme will be delivered in EN.
