Family Explorer Activities: Donald Rodney

Donald Rodney Resources displayed: Books, pencils, light box, folder of materials and instructions

If you are visiting our gallery, make sure you pick up one of our Family Explorer Activities to help you and the family explore the galleries together.

There are a variety of activities to suit a range of ages and abilities, addressing key themes of the work in the exhibition.

You will find our Family Resource stand in front of our reception desk, next to our accessible gallery and exhibition resources.

Associate Artists, Charlotte Tupper and Amelia Daiz with Play & Learn Facilitator, Holly Nowak have worked together to design the activity for Donald Rodney: Visceral Canker.
