The Art Journey is a six-part creative process that invites women to explore their personal stories through art, movement and shared reflection. Across six workshops, the group moves step by step from first encounters toward deep artistic expression, combining individual artworks with a collective creation.

Throughout the journey, the participants work with journals, abstract painting, installations, audio recordings and — as a shared centerpiece — the creation of handcrafted bird masks. These masks become symbols of courage, identity and transformation, and will later be photographed in nature as part of a poetic group performance.

As the workshops unfold, each woman develops her own artistic language and personal narrative, supported by a safe and collaborative environment. The materials created along the way come together in a collective art book, which weaves written stories, photographs and visual works into a unified composition.

The Journey concludes with a public exhibition, where the individual pieces and the group’s bird-mask portrait series are presented side by side. This final presentation allows the personal and collective voices of the women to be seen, honoured and shared with the wider community.
