Tides of Tradition: Surfboard Design Workshop

Event Status : Open

Step into the intersection of art, culture, and the ocean.


Suitable for ages : 6+

Step into the intersection of art, culture, and the ocean. In this workshop, participants will design their own surfboard artwork inspired by Phillip George’s Inshallah series, currently featured in our Islamic Art Gallery. Blending Islamic geometric patterns with Australia’s iconic surf culture, this session celebrates shared stories and connections across place and history. Each participant will create a unique surfboard design that reflects both tradition and contemporary creativity.

In its ongoing commitment to combatting Islamophobia, the Islamic Museum of Australia champions an understanding and appreciation for Islamic art and culture. The school holiday workshops are supported by the Victorian Government.
