The Migrant Women’s Counter Human Trafficking Alliance (MWCHTA) invites you to Remembering the Body: A Plaster Sheet Art Workshop by Yasmeen Nematt Alla.

How do certain parts of your body remember your life more than others? How do we hold each other in moments of sharing? Join us in a workshop with artist Yasmeen Nematt Alla as we make body molds in community with one another. We will share stories, stresses and joys along with food and friendship making opportunities.

Yasmeen Nematt Alla (she/her) is an Egyptian immigrant and settler living in Tkaronto, Turtle Island (colonially known as Toronto, Ontario). She has a BA in Fine Arts from the University of Waterloo and is an MFA candidate and a Gilbert Fellow at Cranbrook Academy of Arts. She has most recently exhibited at the Bronx River Art Centre in Bronx NY, Heaven Gallery in Chicago IL, and Xpace Cultural Centre in Toronto ON. She has previously been an artist resident in the Banff Centre, ACRE, STEPs Public Art, UKAI Projects, La Centrale Galerie Powerhouse, and is currently an artist resident at Ferment AI and HXOUSE Creative Think Tank. As an artist worker, she supports art organizations in creating accessible and anti-racist modes of communications in their day-to-day operations.

This workshop, open to all newcomer migrant women, will take place at 1RG Space (2567 Dundas St W, Toronto) on Sunday, July 9, 2023, at 2:00 pm. Lunch will be provided beforehand.
