Join us for a free animation workshop with Nia Fekri on the last Saturday of April! 

An animation workshop with artist Nia Fekri, exploring drawing and scratching techniques on 16mm film to create a collaborative final outcome, which will be projected at the end of the screening.

The young filmmakers will be invited to experiment with colour, patterns, mark-making and scratching to create kaleidoscopic films with the guidance of the team.

Adults can only come if they’re bringing a child, and children can only come along if accompanied by an adult. If you’re over 18, we’re afraid being a ‘big kid’ doesn’t count. 

No need to book - please show up on the day! 

Nia Fekri is an Iranian-British multidisciplinary artist and educator working primarily with moving-image, writing and performance. She received a BA from Slade School of Fine Art. Her work often deals with modes of storytelling in conversation and the ways they structure everyday realities and fictions. 

She is driven by the need to register the fragmentary and ghostly nature of immigrant experiences, familial relationships and intimate spaces. As an educator and facilitator, Nia’s focus is on collaborative storytelling and speculative exercise through a variety of mediums. Her most recent projects have been in collaboration with UCL Art Museum, The Mosaic Rooms Gallery and the British Film Institute.
