EXHIBITION DESIGN

The exhibition focused on displaying the creative process and the participant's final artwork in an interactive way. Ipads, imacs and a SmartTV enabled the visitors to explore the three stages of the programme and select the StopGo animations created by the students to illustrate their understanding of theme 'The Hero Inside', all of us. The socially conscious ipad apps encouraged further reflection around the theme. Freej was screened in the cinema and the Arabic picture book corner emphasised the value of reading together as a family.
