About this Event
What do we do with what we carry when words are not enough?
Juzur wa Jusur جذور و جسور · Roots & Bridges: A three-part creative series exploring land, memory, and connection through clay.
In Arabic, Juzur (جذور) means roots: what grounds us, where we come from, the memories, places, and relationships that become part of who we are.
Jusur (جسور) means bridges: what connects us across distance, difference and rupture.
Gaza has left many of us carrying things that are hard to put into words: grief, anger, helplessness, tenderness, memory, solidarity, or feelings we can't yet name. Juzur / Jusur is an intimate, held creative space where some of what we carry can take form, and where we might find we are not holding it alone.
Juzur wa Jusur is an invitation to give some of this experience space and form.
Over three sessions we work with clay, drawing and mixed media, letting texture, weight and shape become ways of expressing what words can't always reach. We move gently from what grounds us, to giving some of it form in clay, toward connection and what helps us carry on.
No artistic experience is needed. You'll never be asked to share personal experiences or explain your work. This is not therapy; it's a creative, reflective space held with care for choice, boundaries, and emotional safety by Aida Akoury @fluidartwellness.pt, a Lebanese psychologist trained in art therapy.
