Towner Eastbourne is delivering sessions at Willingdon Trees Community Centre in Hampden Park, supporting the development and delivery of an artist-led collaborative youth project. Young people (11 – 19) will work with artist Babalola Yusuf and artist and therapist Dana Brass to explore art-making processes and experiment with themes and materials in a safe, supportive environment onsite in Hampden Park.

In August 2024, the Banana Sharks collaborated on an outcome in response to Future Collect's artist Maria Amidu: in the perpetual back and forth exhibition at Towner. Find out more about this event Lots of Great Things!

About Babalola Yusuf

Babalola Yusuf is a multidisciplinary artist interested in how art can explore intersections, how it is possible for a photograph or the repetition of a phrase or simple imagery to transcend itself. Much like a seed which in specific soil, with specific conditions, begins to unfold up and into light – is it possible through an artwork to exist to both soil and sky, to experience eternity in time? Babalola works with performance, painting, film, photography, sculpture and sound and was on Flatland Projects' Early Careers Programme from 2022/2023.
