The visual arts workshops. I've conducted a curriculum which stands for opportunities to develop knowledge, attitudes and skills so that we can manage the complexity of our contemporary experiences and take responsibility for the future. It is a thorough programme conducted with the principles of making art in a way which integrates personal artistic practices into the much wider realm of reality. This curriculum is a path way for cultural exchange- to connect globally relevant ideas.
