Future Self Art Workshop

In this transformative art workshop, you'll learn how to create meaningful self-portraits using traditional African textile techniques and storytelling methods. Throughout the session, you'll develop both creative skills and personal insights while crafting unique artwork that reflects your authentic self.This reflective experience is specifically designed for Black women and non-binary individuals seeking a space to explore identity and possibility beyond societal constraints. The workshop combines ancestral wisdom with contemporary psychology, offering a powerful alternative to conventional "hustle harder" narratives.During the session, you'll work with tactile natural materials including bark cloth, raffia palm, and banana fibre to create art that connects with your deepest desires. The process unfolds in three phases: first "unmasking your present" by releasing societal expectations and code-switching fatigue, then "owning your history" by honouring your journey without being limited by it, and finally "designing your future" through journaling and creating art aligned with your personal values rather than external demands.By the end of this empowering workshop, you'll have created a meaningful textile self-portrait while gaining valuable perspectives on reclaiming your boldest future on your own terms. The approach is grounded in research showing that envisioning your future self enhances resilience and decision-making, while the emphasis on radical rest offers a refreshing path to liberation. A beautiful canvas to take home at the end. Read more details
