About this Event

What stories does your body hold?

Our bodies can be shaped by disability, memory, grief, joy, and everything in between.

In this workshop, explore the connection you have with your body and transform it into a plaster cast you take home in a gentle, supported space.

You’ll then be invited to write a letter to your cast as a way to process, grieve, or thank it.

This process may be confronting. We will go gently, with grounding exercises at the start and end of the session.

All entirely at your own pace. No experience necessary.


Before you arrive:

Come with a part of your body in mind that you’re comfortable applying wet, skin-safe products to.

See you there!


Access info:

  • This workshop is exclusively intended for people who are BIPOC and/or Disabled.
  • A private bathroom will be available for casting your chosen body part.
  • Lara can speak some Arabic (Levant dialect)
  • For access info and map please visit our website.

Note: Tickets have a $5 holding fee that will be refunded on arrival/check-in.

This workshop is part of a free four-week series supported by NEDA (National Ethnic Disability Alliance), prioritising accessibility and inclusivity of BIPOC participants living with a disability. All are welcome.
