Workshop at the YWCA

11:00am-3:00pm

Join Diana Ohiozebau for a creative workshop inspired by the exhibition Not Alone As Such. This interactive workshop invites participants to engage closely with selected fragments from the exhibited artworks. Drawing from themes of identity, collective presence, African mask traditions, and sculptural forms, participants will transfer and paint a small section of an artwork onto canvas, to create their own interpretation through colour, texture, and line. Through the process of focusing on a single fragment, participants are encouraged to reflect on how individual parts contribute to a larger whole.  This event is suitable for all ages. No prior painting experience is required.
