This small-group creative workshop invites us to explore women’s rage through art-making and creative expression.

Women are often taught to make anger acceptable: to soften it, explain it away, keep the peace and carry on. But what happens when we continually push our anger down?

Anger doesn’t always disappear simply because we don’t express it. Ongoing stress can affect our bodies, contributing to muscle tension, disrupted sleep and changes in how our stress and immune systems function. The emotional effort of holding everything together can be exhausting. Anger can also be a response to being unheard, overlooked, dismissed or treated unjustly. It can hold information about what matters to us, what has hurt us and what needs to change.

This small-group creative workshop invites us to explore women’s rage through art-making and creative expression.

What if, instead of swallowing our anger, we could give it another form of expression?

Using a range of materials, we’ll work intuitively, experiment without the pressure of producing a finished piece, and see what emerges. You’re welcome to bring your own materials, and we will also have a range of materials available at the gallery. There is no right or wrong way to make art here.

We’ll end with an optional sharing circle: a chance to reflect on the work, listen to one another and be heard. There is no expectation to share anything personal, or anything at all.

It’s about acknowledging what we feel, finding different ways to communicate it, and exploring what becomes possible when we allow ourselves the space to express what has been held inside.

🖤 WHO IS IT FOR?

The workshop is open to anyone who identifies as a woman, as well as those who have been shaped by the expectations placed on women around anger and emotional expression. Trans and non-binary perspectives are warmly welcomed. 💖
