Discover the role of folklore in shaping our understanding of feminine strength, solidarity, and resilience. Through storytelling and symbolic folk art, we’ll explore cultural narratives of powerful women and create personal expressions of our own connections to these traditions.
In this guided three-hour workshop you will discuss Feminine Power in myth and folklore through creative exercises, collective storytelling, and group discussion before creating your own folk art pieces.
All materials will be provided and no previous art experience is necessary, the workshop is designed to be open and fulfilling for those with or without a creative background. So come and join us this Women's History Month for a collective exploration of female power.
Our facilitator:
Kandre Arámidẹ Hassan is a visual artist and community coordinator, blending neo-surrealist art, poetry, and workshops to explore afro-diasporic dynamics, folklore, and the subconscious. With a background in Anthropology, her work delves into the intersection of the supernatural and everyday, to re-examine our connections between self, others, space and place.

For Women's History Month 2025, Skaped is putting on another exciting programme, and this year, it's all about solidarity. We'll be exploring what solidarity is, how to maintain it, and what barriers prevent us from uniting, particularly those who identify with the term 'woman' in any capacity.
There's power in womanhood and sisterhood, and there's no 'right' way to be a woman. But when we exclude certain narratives from the conversation, how are we actually supposed to come together as an empowered collective? Come join us in 4 creative workshops, where we explore this idea, expand our shared concepts of womanhood, and celebrate one another together.
