One voice can be loud, several voices can be heard
Are you a woman with a lot to say in a world that just doesn’t listen? Are you experiencing mental health challenges because of this?
We Are Heard! is a series of six community workshops that use art techniques to help women develop, and amplify their voices to speak up.
The workshops take place on weekends, from 22 February to 30 March. Each workshop is divided into two half-day sessions, taking place on Saturdays and Sundays, from 2pm to 6pm.
How to book: Click here and choose the ticket for the workshop you’d like to attend. Tickets are offered on a “Pay What You Can” basis. You can book more than one workshop as long as you attend all the sessions.
The Street Art sessions are coordinated in collaboration with the Rich Mix (E1 6LA) and take place in this venue, on the 8th and 9th of March. All the other workshops are held at St Margaret’s House.
Come and join us to face these challenges together in a safe(r), brave(r), and non-threatening space. With the support of National Lottery funding, we want to create an environment where we can explore who we are, what we want to say, how to claim ownership of the space we occupy, and how to set healthy boundaries.
You can attend one, several, or all of the workshops, as long as you commit to both sessions of each workshop. Click on the tickets link and choose the ticket for the workshop you’d like to attend. Tickets are offered on a “Pay What You Can” basis.
We Are Heard! is produced by Mental Creations, a disabled-led non-profit organisation providing mental health support through the arts to underserved and underrepresented groups; in partnership with St Margaret’s House.
The project is made possible with the support of National Lottery funding.
