Ever looked through a kaleidoscope and wondered how the beautiful moving shapes were created?

Join us for a tour of Souq Saqr to find out how many of SB15 artist Lubaina Himid’s interpretive shop signs you can spot. As you discover the signs from her work Dream Boats (2022), make notes about the design, colours and messages in each one. After the tour, use your notes to create a drawing that expresses your impressions of the signs and objects you have observed.
