The aim of the project is to engage women who don't ordinarily engage in art and culture projects. MSA will provide access for women from the local community from diverse backgrounds to come together on walks at various parks around the borough, whilst teaching them how to utilize their cameras/devices to optimize getting the best photography shots. Through weekly art therapy, women will be encouraged to open up about issues held deep within themselves, expressing their thoughts through art, hopefully helping them to offload, which we have previously seen and know, has often been discouraged in some communities. At the end of the project we will deliver an exhibition to engage the wider community, motivating other women to engage in local arts & cultural initiatives. Through this project we will be mentoring women to increase their skills and enable them to open up and signposting them to other local organisations.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
MSA will be bringing women together from diverse backgrounds who may have nver had the opportunity to be involved in arts and culture projects before. Bringing together like-minded women will create a sisterhood, therefore trust and encouragement between the groups. This will lead to long term health benefits. The wider community will also benefit and create unity and harmonisation across Redbridge. The long term benefits will improve health benefits and also mental health benefits, encouraging women to continue themselves or signposting them and connecting them to other local art or culture organisations to continue their journeys.
