Some really wonderful examples ...Thank you Stephen. Some really wonderful examples created by the workshop participants. In fact, this was more than just an art workshop. The theme of 'Migration' and where we come from is intrinsically linked to our developing identities and the wider global issues we are currently facing across countries and continents. One of the outcomes of this type of artistic workshop is its potential to cross more than just geographical and historical boundaries. but also those of other disciplines, including the mind and the soul. Memory survives death in so many different forms - the subconscious mind with its multi-sensory capacity absorbs information on the most subtile of levels. Such experience; familial and environmental impact on and influence the way we think and communicate with others, in our everyday interactions, and shaped by the beliefs and values we hold. <br />All these define our identity and who we are in the various communities in which we live. <br /> However, the next big challenge for society is to demonstrate how we embrace our identities and use our individual heritage positively towards multi-cultural understanding, the wider good and the integration of migrated / displaced people in their ‘newly’ adopted cultural environments. The construction of a shared dialogue through artistic expression, such as in a workshop of this type is the perfect vehicle towards creating a cohesive narrative on Migration, past, present and future.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16994500821266147660noreply@blogger.com
