Free art workshop for all ages, materials and refreshments will be provided.

Belonging invites you to create your own unique folded Concertina Book. At this workshop participants will design their front and back book covers, and learn art techniques such as paper folding, comic drawing, collage and watercolour painting.

At this workshop participants will also be invited to share in communal conversations and enjoy Community Arts Network's Lotterywest Story Street in partnership with the City of Canning.

We acknowledge that this event will take place on the land of the Whadjuk Noongar people and pay our respects to Elders past, present and future. Sovereignty was never ceded. This always was and always will be Aboriginal land.

BACKGROUND

Belonging is a Whadjuk Noongar boodjar based community arts initiative with an aim to provide a safe space for artists to express ideas of self and identity, to make art, and have a voice - with a particular focus on platforming culturally and linguistically diverse, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youth. The engagement of Belonging varies between hands-on workshops, online surveys, round-table discussions, exhibitions and more.
