Each of us celebrates our oneness, uniquely. In this Expressive Arts Without Borders workshop, we will explore how our diversity need not compromise our unity and how our unity need not compromise our diversity. Visual art, movement and writing will be our modes of exploration. Please have some paper and oil pastels handy, or anything else you prefer for working with colour as well as a pen and paper and some space for movement.
