Mindful African Art Workshops are at my studio at Bow Arts, Lakeside Centre, Bazalgette Way SE2 9AN (Abbey Wood: National Rail and Queen Elizabeth Line)
My previous partnerships include:
A two-part programme inspiring Black womxn to contribute creative writing and artwork towards an anthology project, for the Black Woman Kindness Initiative. Through the Mindful Past and Future workshops, I helped participants to relax, reengage with their senses, culture, memories and hopes in creative writing and artistic responses.
Engaging marginalised business students at Royal Holloway, University of London, to imagine their highest selves through future-self portraiture and writing, to help raise their ambition and self-efficacy; with survey results showing an overall improvement in hopefulness and self belief.
Designing an accessible six-part workshop to explore Walworth Living Room users’ experience of health on a personal, community, institutional and systemic level. The programme used quilt making, natural fibre exploration and conversation guided by research questions from Healing Justice London and Pembroke House to share hopes and strategies to support health.
Sharing the dance practice of the Ganda tribe of Uganda for Kauma Arts for Royal Borough of Greenwich, a borough with a significant Ugandan community. As well as screening a film I co-produced, ‘Learn about Kiganda Dance by Aminah Namakula’, I recruited Judith Palmer MBE to teach the principles of Baksimba dance and delivered an art workshop; encouraging participants to make collage artworks inspired by images of the Kiganda dancers to memorialise the experience of dancing together.
