The Art of Self-Expression: Mindful Mask-Making workshop is deeply connected to my own artistic practice, where mask-making is a significant form of creative expression and healing. As an artist and social practitioner, my work often explores identity, spirituality, and personal transformation through the medium of masks. These workshops offer a unique opportunity to engage in the therapeutic process of creating a mask while connecting to a supportive community. Together, we explore the significance of masks as symbols of identity, resilience, and self-discovery, weaving in cultural elements like the sacred role of cowrie shells in Afro-diasporic spirituality. This experience invites you to tap into your creativity, embrace your own narrative, and open doors to emotional and mental clarity. Whether you’re looking to explore personal growth, release pent-up emotions, or simply discover a new creative outlet, these workshops provide a safe and inspiring space for all. Join us and step into your own journey of self-expression and transformation.
