An indigenous women’s art workshop in Wood Green will be taught by an award-winning artist.
The North American artist, Rose Marie Prins, will be hosting a workshop at the Collage Arts Centre to educate participants on the missing and murdered indigenous women.
Participants of the workshop will get to draw portraits of North American indigenous women which will be incorporated into a multimedia art installation, They Had No Time to Say Goodbye.
The painting instructor is currently traveling across Europe conducting art workshops to highlight the crisis facing Indigenous women and girls in North America.
According to Amnesty International indigenous people “experience the same harsh realities all over the world”.
The charity adds: “Their human rights are routinely violated by state authorities, and they face high levels of marginalisation and discrimination.”
For over two decades, Rose Marie has taught drawing, sculpting and painting across colleges and universities in the United States.
The workshops will be running on the Thursday, 3rd October, from 4pm-6.30pm and 6.30pm-8.30pm, at 4 Coburg Road, Wood Green N22 6UJ. All portraits will be hung at the art centre by 8pm.
