Sail To Hope - Art Workshop

Sail To Hope - Art Workshop

Join us at Make Space Studios for a creative and inspiring art workshop!

Everyone above the age of 10 is wellcome, all materials included, no experience needed!

Using mix media, Esra’s expert guidance will help you explore your own way of expressing what HOPE means to you.

*Some of the results will be chosen to feature in an Arts Council funded video to be presented along with music by Grammy winning composer Tim Garland.

THE SAIL TO HOPE PROJECT

International Fine Artist Esra Kizir Gokcen has her series of Paintings Sail To Hope featured as part of a series of jazz concerts in 2024 in a highly unique collaboration with Grammy winning composer / saxophonist Tim Garland ( www.timgarland.com) and his Lighthouse Trio.

A central element of the concerts is to be a video that creatively depicts many of these paintings which address migration and its often fragile course, with humanity and positivity.
The video will also show the creation of a brand new work to be added to this remarkable and colourful collection, as she will be filmed whilst she paints.

A CHANCE TO BE PART OF IT

Esra is offering art workshops for families within diverse communities where many of the resulting artwork will become part of the video, which will be seen around the country as part of the Lighthouse Trio’s tour around UK venues.
The title is Sail To Hope and we are looking for art from young and old, that addresses unique experiences of resettling of the people coming from anywhere, but the emphasis as the title suggests, is on HOPE, the positive, the personal growth, the love and the fortitude which has been nurtured through the process.
Guided by our immensely imaginative and very experienced artistic guide, who counts her own work as being both a therapy and a spiritual practise, Esra, as part of a funded scheme, is offering her attention to those who would love to be part of this unique meeting of art and music!

Additionally, attendees get a chance to be interviewed about what HOPE means for them. These interviews will become a part of the feature video aiming to cultivate positivity and raise awareness of the importance of our individual stories on relocation and hope.
