THIS IS ME – a Culture interest event taking place on 2019-07-04 13:00:00 in Canada
SIGN UP FOR A COOL SUMMER YOUTH ART PROJECT! Under the guidance of an accomplished stage/cinema/radio facilitator Asha Mehrabi and experienced local visual artist Chin Yuen, this artistic project will help young people explore the subjects of identity, race, faith and belonging using tried participatory creative techniques (image creation, storytelling, movement, music, spoken and written text) to create identity “portraits” that capture the participants' own full story. The final youth portraits can take the form of a painting, a poem, a spoken piece, a story, a dance, a monologue, a theatrical piece, and/or a combination of the above. The workshops are FREE but you will need to commit to attending all 7 of them to be eligible to participate. Each workshop will be 3 and a half hours long and will take place from 1pm – 4:30pm.
