Join us for a day of Architecture! Let’s Make, Walk & Talk.
The event will start with a walk around Shoreditch to see the local architectural heritage as well as more contemporary art such as Camile Walala‘s mural ‘Belleville’.
Young people will be asked to record the shapes, forms and geometries that they see, and following a short break, the event will conclude in a creative and collective map-making activity back at the Rich Mix building.
This event is suitable for families with young people aged between 6-11 years old.
We will be meeting in the Rich Mix foyer. Please check in with our Box Office team when you arrive.
