Come along to our week ly workshops to explore identities\, sense of belonging and representation through various creative activities and take part in a full-day doll-maki ng workshop! Learn new skills\, let your creative juices flow and be part of a lovely community of people who also consider themselves ‘Others’. The workshops will take place in Central London on May 10\, 17 and 24\, from 6 pm to 8:30 pm\, and on May 28\, from 11 am to 5 pm.
\nThe workshop s consist of a variety of group dynamics and short exercises that will be followed by art-making sessions in which participants will learn how to ma ke dolls from different materials such as fabric\, paper and clay. All the pieces created by the participants will form part of a collective artwork that will be exhibited in the future to increase awareness and support fo r members of the ‘Other’ ethnic groups in London.
\nThe ‘Other Check box’ is a project that explores London’s ‘other ethnic’ identities\, espec ially within the equality and diversity monitoring forms and the national statistics. The idea of the project was born from our continuous conversat ion and debates on identity and not feeling represented or belonging. It i s a project that is rooted in our own lived experience as immigrants and m embers of the ‘Other’ ethnic groups ourselves.
\nThese workshops are aimed at people who consider themselves as ‘Others’ and who have lived ex periences of otherness. All the artworks created during the workshops will take part in a collective exhibition and will be photographed for the soc ial media\, website\, marketing and impact report of the project.
