Craft & ConvosNeighborly Portraits

In collaboration with For Struggling Creatives, featuring their 17ft. mobile studio, The Creative Space, and Neighborly Events.

​

We created a space for youth and adults to explore their cultural identity and personal expression through abstract portraiture. Using mixed-media materials, participants cut and layered shapes to form imaginative, expressive portraits that reflected who they are and where they’re from.

This was a celebration of community through color and form, honoring individuality within our collective communities—encouraging reflection, conversation, and joy.
