Help us create a beautiful Mandala! Our aim is to come together and create a large mandala with people from as many cultures as possible.
As well as the collaborative large scale Mandala, participants will be guided on how to create their very own Mandala. These beautiful Mandalas will be a celebration of the art, symbols and words you associate with your unique identity. This is a unique opportunity to be involved in an intercultural piece of artwork.
The work produced on the night will be reflective of our individual cultural and personal identities. We will spend time understanding, appreciating and celebrating our similarities and differences.
Come and join us. Let’s create together!
