First Thursdays: A Feminist Collage Workshop with Naomi Azoulay

Join us for First Thursdays in Devonport - Te Hau Kapua

Join Naomi Azoulay in a dynamic, hands-on workshop, participants will engage in an intuitive collage-making process inspired by feminist themes. Through the mindful selection of images, colours, and textures, we will challenge dominant narratives, reclaim the female gaze, and construct powerful visual stories that celebrate resistance, identity, and self-determination.

This workshop invites creative experimentation and personal expression—no prior experience is needed, only curiosity and a willingness to explore, disrupt, and create.


This workshop is open to all individuals aged 15 and above.
