1 August, 4 to 8 p.m., at the Museum for Sepulchral Culture, Weinbergstraße 25-27

In our previous workshops on the wind telephone, participants often chose motifs of commemoration for their artistic exploration. In this workshop, we want to try to focus more on personal grief. Jessica and Birka invite us to listen inwards and feel where the grief is anchored in the body or in our own perception. The creative process with charcoal and colour creates a space in which we can gently encounter our emotions without repressing or judging them. Instead, this workshop is all about recognising our feelings with understanding and acceptance and perhaps developing a new, mindful relationship with ourselves through the artistic process.
