Celebration – The workshop – Symbols of Woman
Creative Workshop with Katree Wilson
📅 Date: Sunday 15 March 2026
🕠 Time: 1:00pm – 5:00pm
📍 Venue: CWA Nubeena
✨ What’s on?
A small community like the Peninsula relies on the inter-connectedness of its residents. Women have always held the key to this social aspect of our lives where caring, sharing and celebration is expressed. Creative crafting allows the mind to soften and while the hands are busy our being is stilled. This workshop will encourage connection and inclusiveness through self-reflective processes that will culminate in a communal art piece, reflecting diverse cultural heritages, skills and dreams.
Symbols are signs, marks, or objects that represent abstract ideas and communicate meaning. Historically markings as tattoos were designed for identification, tribal lineage, status, and spiritual protection. Marks were also used for beauty, to ward off evil spirits/illness, or during initiation rituals to mark adulthood. We will use a mixture of materials and methods to create our unique symbols. They can become the symbols that represent our essence, as individuals, without all the influences of the 21st century.
To complete this project, it is proposed that the symbols become part of a larger communal art piece that can be installed at the CWA as an expression of the women who make up this community. This will be completed by Katree as part of a regional art project proposed for later in the year.
