This two-part online workshop is designed to help women in climate action explore and express their identities through the power of art and storytelling. The workshop aims to deepen participants' understanding of their personal narratives and how these can be transformed into compelling artistic expressions that inspire climate justice. Through activities like self-portrait creation and guided art sessions, participants will engage in reflective practices that connect their heritage, values, and experiences to lean into their activism. By the end of the workshop, participants will have the tools to create art pieces that not only represent their identities but also serve as powerful tools for self-discovery to lead to advocacy and change.
