The Great Exhibition of 1851 was a carefully curated affair, how would you design your own exhibition today?
Become a curator for the day with Assemblage Collective and take part in this hands-on workshop, where you’ll design your very own multi-room miniature exhibition by crafting and designing a paper concertina. You’ll use collage and mark-making to bring your creation to life, decide how your exhibition will look and the objects you would fill it with.
What stories can you tell through your objects? Will your exhibition feature bold patterns or a sleek minimalist design? How will you create atmosphere with wallpaper, lighting and furniture?
Experiment, design and build an exhibition to remember—this is your exhibition, so your rules!
