I recently became involved with this charity and I wanted to contribute something towards it. I feel that raising awareness through creativity is a dynamic, productive and positive way of approaching this area of challenging, confusing, often hidden, shadowy, and shocking human activity.
I will be leading a workshop on drawing and working creatively with themes implied around the theme of torture.
Title of event: Drawing the Line: Freedom from Torture. How can we respond to human cruelty and injustice through creativity?
Details of the event: In aid of ‘Freedom from Torture’, Kate Walters will lead a workshop exploring a number of themes including how the body stores our life experiences, dreams, nightmares, fairy tales, archetypal imagery and how we feel/can respond to the human-instigated torture towards others which is going on in the world. We will aim to focus on empathy and the heart-mind as a way to safely explore these themes.
Participants will work with drawings, writing, and colour in a supportive and sensitive environment.
Please bring drawing supports (e.g. paper, board) and your preferred materials.
Age limit: participants must be 17 or over
