About this Event
Move and Sketch - Hayward Gallery
Sunday 11 October 2026 | 13:00 - 15:00
Trapped in Zone One will be hosting a movement session with a visit to the Hayward Gallery. We'll be exploring the exhibition from one of the most influential artists of our time, Anish Kapoor returns to the gallery, where he staged his first major UK show almost 30 years ago.
Kapoor’s exhibition fills the entire gallery building with a series of immersive works, many of which press against the gallery walls and floors or descend from the ceiling to create an uncanny sensation of awe and wonder.
The exhibition features works from many of Kapoor’s most iconic series: flawless steel mirror sculptures that warp, distort and disorient; mysterious objects coated in Vantablack – the blackest known substance in the world – that mystify us with their extraordinary light-absorbing properties; and seemingly depthless voids opening within the gallery, drawing us in with a thrilling sense of vertigo.
The exhibition also introduces dramatic recent works: visceral paintings and sculptures that confront us with the fragility of human existence.
In addition, the artist presents several new works that appear to turn the world inside out and upside down, including a pair of monumental installations in the artist’s signature red.
Over his decades-long career, Kapoor has become known for ambitious, large-scale works such as the breathtaking Sky Mirror and Chicago’s Cloud Gate (known as The Bean).
Background to Hayward Gallery
The Hayward Gallery is a world-renowned contemporary art space located within London's Southbank Centre.

The aim of our session is to improve confidence in walking on a more regular basis, boost mental wellbeing and give participants safe opportunities for social interaction. By hosting this session will aim to merge creative medium of sketching on the move engaging with participants, who are often inactive, make physical activity part of their daily routine exploring greenspaces in London.

Undecided? Check out some of the feedback from participants from previous workshops:
'It improved my wellbeing, it made me feel happier and calmer. Being outdoors in the sunshine and fresh air, paying attention to my surroundings, being in the moment.'
'This event has enabled me to do more walking than usual. People have been very kind and someone always walked with me even though quite slow. Very grateful to everyone at Trapped in Zone One. Have been to a few events now but originally found whilst scrolling for something to do on eventbrite.'
'My mood is uplifted and feel glad to enjoy afternoon outside.'
'It was fun to sketch and learn about the history. It was really mindful. Learning about the history of Tower Bridge and of course observing the little details and drawing from top of the tower. Also, meeting people and finding these great pockets of communities around London.'
