Move and Sketch at Saatchi Gallery

Move and Sketch - Saatchi Gallery

Saturday 14 November 2026 | 13:00 - 15:00

Trapped in Zone One will be hosting a movement session with a visit to the Saatchi Gallery. We'll be exploring their new exhibition 'Beyond the Streets' at the gallery, with a group based sketching activity inspired by the show.

About Beyond the Streets

BEYOND THE STREETS returns to with an all-new exhibition, bringing together fresh works, historic pieces and previously unseen works by leading figures in international street culture.

The landmark exhibition traces six decades of the extraordinary influence of street culture on contemporary art, photography, fashion, music and activism. A story unfolds through innovators and legends from the genres of graffiti, street art, hip-hop, 2Tone and a wider ecosystem of people willing to challenge boundaries and take risks, reshaping the world around them. These movements take different forms, but they share the same core impulse to create, disrupt, and be heard on their own terms.

BEYOND THE STREETS transforms the exhibition rooms across three floors and intervening spaces into an immersive journey through the history of street culture and its ongoing influence. Spanning more than ten rooms and bringing together over 100 international creators, the exhibition features paintings, sculptures, fashion, ephemera, large-scale installations, site-specific interventions, immersive environments, historic works, new commissions, rare archives, and interactive experiences. Together, these works create a multilayered portrait of street culture: one that can be explored, experienced, and felt rather than simply viewed.

Background to Saatchi Gallery

Since 1985, Saatchi Gallery has presented contemporary art exhibitions showcasing the work of emerging artists. Exhibitions which drew upon the collection of Charles Saatchi, led to Saatchi Gallery becoming a recognised authority in contemporary art globally. The Gallery acquired a strong reputation for introducing artists who would later gain worldwide recognition. In 2019 Saatchi Gallery became a registered charity and began a new chapter in its history.

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.'
