A FREE club at Discover for disabled children and children with SEN aged 5-11, their families or carers.
Mighty Mega is a longstanding free Saturday morning club for disabled children and children with SEN, and their families or carers — with sessions featuring visiting artists from various art forms, including storytelling, photography, music, dance, theatre and animation.
From 20 April to 13 July 2024 (excluding half term on 1 June):
Until 13 July, join the artist Zamzo (they/them) to explore Into Space and Beyond. Embark on a journey into our star-filled universes and encounter aliens, shooting stars, new planets and galaxies.
Discover the mysteries of our galaxy through music, arts and crafts, storytelling, and games. Make sure to fasten your spaceship seatbelt as we blast off into space!
Zamzo is an illustrator, youth worker and art facilitator working across London and Brighton in the mediums of print, painting, digital artwork, and graphic novels. They have exhibited work at the ONCA gallery and published work in the Free to Forage and Aghh! Zine. Zamzo is also a musician spending their spare time playing the harp and the percussion instruments, the caxixi and Juju shaker.
