Join artist Nadera Rasulova for an abstract painting workshop exploring inherited stories

As an extension of Nadera’s exhibition Kosh-Chenar, she will be leading a workshop that invites participants to bring a textile or object of cultural, familial or personal significance. These items will act as starting points for creating abstract paintings through colour, pattern, texture or a more intuitive emotional response. The workshop reflects the intentions of Kosh-Chenar: to explore how the things we inherit carry stories, and how those stories can be reinterpreted and made new through the act of painting.

What to expect:

Seated within Nadera's exhibition, this two-hour workshop invites participants to explore abstract painting through memory, material, and intuition.

Working with a personally significant object or textile as a reference point, participants will be guided to translate story and emotion into colour, gesture, and texture - without the pressure of representation or a finished outcome. The focus is on process: layering, responding, obscuring, and revealing.

All materials are provided, including a canvas board and acrylic paints. Participants will take their artwork home on the day.

Guests are asked to bring one object or textile of cultural, familial, or personal significance.

Tea, coffee, and light refreshments will be available.
