Inside Out: Faces and Facets

Who am I beyond the surface?

This imaginative workshop invites students to explore identity through the expressive lens of portraiture and cultural storytelling. Each session offers a rich mix of creative exploration, emotional reflection, and visual experimentation. Students engage with diverse artistic styles, traditions, and materials — blending reality and fantasy to express their personal and social identity.

Through guided art-making and storytelling, learners reflect on who they are, where they come from, and how they relate to the world around them.
