🎨✨ Creating, Healing, Connecting ✨🎨
Last week, we hosted a therapeutic art workshop in collaboration with @paintingprogress_ bringing together asylum seekers and refugees for a creative, calming, and inspiring session. From mind-mapping daily routes to continuous line drawing, participants explored self-expression through art in a safe and supportive space. 🖌️💙
Art isn’t just about creativity—it’s a powerful tool for mental well-being, connection, and belonging. We’re so proud of the beautiful pieces created, and some will even be featured in the annual exhibition held by @paintingprogress_ this May!
Huge thanks to everyone who joined! We can’t wait for the next one.
