This workshop is co-facilitated by Erica H Isomura and Nico Koyanagi. In this beginner-friendly workshop, Nico will lead the group in conversation around care, gendered labour, and community wellbeing, inviting participants to reflect on their personal experiences. This will be followed by a mixed-media/collage art activity, during which Erica will teach participants how to create portraits as homage to loved ones. No prior experience is necessary.This workshop will be approached from a stance of creative empowerment, solidarity, and making visible what labour and care goes unseen in everyday life and community. Participants are invited to bring copies of personal photos to use in their projects, notably of women, family members, care givers, mentors, or teachers who have played a caretaking role in their lives.See more information on our website
