About Course

What role does creativity play in how we care for ourselves and each other?

Led by curiosity and shaped by lived experience, CREATING SPACE reveals how making art can become an act of survival, defiance, and self-care.

Step into a space where creative practice holds pain, power, and possibility – where healing isn’t a metaphor, it’s a method.

Making as Care shares small creative practices for everyday life. Designed to be gentle, and adaptable for different bodies, access needs, and energy limits. 

What Will You Learn?

  • CREATING SPACE invites viewers to reflect, respond, and expand their own creative practices – in workshops, at home, in the gallery, or the quiet moments between.
