The Out and About Club! K.I.D.S. X Rumpus Room

THE OUT AND ABOUT CLUB KIDS X RUMPUS ROOM

The Out & About Club is a collaboration between Rumpus Room and Alaya Ang at K.I.D.S. - Kreatively Imagining a Decolonial School. This

project was part of the Move to Action Summer School during July to

August 2020, looking at ways children & families can make art together, learn from being outdoors and connect with each other.

For 6 weeks, Alaya made instructions and videos for children & families to take part in while staying home. Alaya also invited friends Usma and

Inayah, Devashree & Riya from Zinedabaad, Tobi and Gabi to create some of these activities.

This Activity Book brings together the six sessions and features some of the art we made together.

how to use the Activity Book: 1. Bring this with you when you are going outdoors!

2. Follow any one of the prompts from the pages and experiment with ways to record, draw and collect from your surroundings.

3. Share your artworks with us by tagging us: Instagram @kids.forthefuture @rumpusroom_

or Email @ kidsforsharing@gmail.com, rumpusroomteam@gmail.com 4. Have fun!

PASSING TIME PASSING, a fixed place Why do we say we are “close” to someone?

Is a fixed place always a location?

Why do we say we “lost touch” with someone?

What kind of “fixed places” are inside a person?

“The things that change are not our real life.

Within us there is another body, another beauty…

A DRAWING ACTIVITY Take your favourite pen or pencil and make a drawing of what a home is to you. Use two words to describe it.

…within your heart in a space no bigger than an atom, God has placed the 18,000 universes” - Bawa Muhaiyaddeen 1900-1986

About K.I.D.S. Kreatively Imagining a Decolonial School

My name is Alaya and I am an artist based in Glasgow.

Kreatively Imagining a Decolonial School is a project to find creative ways to experiment with learning and making art with children.

Together with organisations like Rumpus Room and other artists and makers, we are creating resources and projects that allow children and young people to learn widely beyond formal education and experiment with all the quirky and fun ways to question and engage the world.

About Rumpus Room Rumpus Room is an artist-led org working in collaboration with young people, children & families on art & social action projects in order to challenge how we play, learn and make art.

RR considers alternative ways of learning; facilitating shared spaces for art and social action between artists, children, families and young people.

RR is focused on the principles of community, autonomy, experimentation, risk and the desire to work long-term to develop positive and sustained relationships that cultivate meaningful social action and mutual exchange in the places we live, work and learn.

Rumpus Room has an open studio in Govanhill, Glasgow. The studio is run by artists and hosts a programme of youth-led activity for children, young people and their families living in Govanhill and the wider community of Glasgow. The studio is a shared experimental creative space where children & young people can work independently and in collaboration with artists, activists, educators and the community on ideas they have instigated.
