Dr. Winsom Winsom
Referencing the past to make positive progress now
Join the renowned Practice as Ritual / Ritual as Practice artist and educator Dr. Winsom Winsom and CUAG guest educator Jade Sullivan for a free collage workshop at CUAG.
Participants will be encouraged to embark on a self-reflection journey grounded in the Twi worldview of referencing the past to make positive progress in the future, a concept embodied in the Sankofa Bird.
This workshop draws heavily on Dr. Winsom’s Afrocentric artistic practice, which mediates the subconscious and preconscious across various mediums.
This workshop is designed for People of Colour and Black and Indigenous folks. Please register in advance by emailing Fiona Wright.
This event is part of Stonecroft Semester: The Art of Connection. More info here.
