Teen Takeover: Animate, Photograph, Create!
Calling all 11-14s! Takeover Young V&A through a programme of creative workshops inspired by Making Egypt, Young V&A’s second ever temporary exhibition.
Takeover Young V&A’s learning centre on the opening day of the brand-new exhibition. Try out a range of new skills, work alongside other young people and meet creative professionals specialising in comic book illustration, stop motion animation and set design.
- Create and collaborate with Comic Book Artist, Ahmed Raafat (whose super-hero comic book series El3osba features in the Making Egypt exhibition)
- Make your own animated scene with film-makers from Chocolate Films
- Express yourself at the Selfie Station with prop and set designer Emily Harwood
- Ask away at our Artist and Designer Panel Discussion. Find out more about a day in the life of our facilitating artists and progression routes into creative careers
We welcome all abilities and levels of experience. Young V&A is fully wheelchair accessible and offers a supportive environment for participants.
Important Information
This event is designed for young people aged 11-14 to participate in independently but the museum is not in loco-parentis and participants remain in the care of their parent or caregiver throughout the event. Parents/caregivers are asked to stay on site and are encouraged to explore the rest of the museum.
During the Selfie Station workshop, young people are invited to use their own device to take a selfie. If you do not consent to being in someone else’s selfie, please let a member of Young V&A staff know and we will fully support this decision during the workshop.
Every young person attending must have a ticket. The event ticket covers access to all of the workshops.
