Gender equality, feelings, everyday life and experiences through shapes, patterns and colors

Last week in Kigali: NWC and Umutima women were having art focused group workshop with Vlasta Jalusic from the Peace Institute: »A lot of effort was made  to free the  creative minds and the group was  successful in that. While thinkig about their daily lifes, work, family and personal life women worked with line and colors in different media. Feelings and emotions were expressed through both line and color«.

After the first three days a smaller group of 6 women continued with work for the next twoo days in order to develop diverse patterns  and  abstract motives  that could be used in the process of making batik at GloCreations next week.  On the last day, after four days of working with imagination and  connecting their mind, eye and hand the six women created a big  colorful canvas.
