Roots And Reflection BOTH Venues

This creative workshop welcomes people from all cultures and nationalities to explore art as a language of identity and connection. It begins with learning how to make papier-mâché pulp from recycled materials, shaping it into a form ready for artistic use.

Participants bring an ethnic or cultural symbol that represents their heritage or story and recreate it using the papier-mâché technique. While crafting, they share the meanings and traditions behind their symbols, encouraging dialogue and understanding among cultures.

The session celebrates diversity, creativity, and the power of handmade art to bring people together. Everyone is warmly invited to join and share their culture with us.
