Nourish Collage Class is a 5-week course designed to nurture your creativity, deepen your sense of purpose, and reclaim your inner artist.
Through the practices of collage, reflective writing, and group dialogue, this course offers space to develop a practice that nourishes your creative leadership and mental resilience while building meaningful relationships.
Together, we’ll explore themes of identity, resistance, and collective care—drawing inspiration from revolutionary artists like Romare Bearden and AfriCOBRA.
You’ll receive a collage care pack, weekly prompts, and guided support as you build a personal body of work and contribute to our collaborative zine project.
Whether you're in a moment of transition or craving a more consistent creative practice, Nourish Collage Class invites you to imagine what creative power can look like.
