Lights! Camera! Empowerment!
Drawing inspiration from The Conference of the Birds picture book by Alexis Lombard, adapted from the poem by Persian poet Farid Uddin Attar, participants and staff explored and experimented with colours, textures, and techniques. DEEN participants worked with artists, Devika Mathur and Madiha Kazi, to create pieces using various media to express and represent their interests, strengths and moods.
