Free workshop hosted by artist Farah Azrak is aimed at children and young people. 

Farah Azrak, born and raised in Damascus, Syria is a multidisciplinary artist, performer, and Somatic Movement and Voice practitioner currently living in Beirut, Lebanon. Her work converges on the body as a main gateway, and diverges in multiform mediums to reiterate relationship to self, other, and the environment. Her works were exhibited in London, Paris, Milan, Yerevan, and Beirut. Alongside her artistic practice, she works as a creative psycho-social support facilitator in various communities in Lebanon.

Azrak will offer a workshop to explore the theme of healing and coming together through a collective canvas of stories in collage form using different materials and media available. The workshop will focus on releasing the imagination of the participants and collectively coming together to create a work that embodies dreams and longings as a form for healing memory.

This workshop is part of Velvet Society, an exhibition displaying the creative acts of survival in fashion and fabric of two Syrian women, civil engineer Raghad Mardini and artist Heba Al-Akkad. Presented by Litehouse Gallery.

Note: This event has been changed. The original artist Heba Al-Akkad is unable to travel.
