“Sisters of Earth” Workshop Leaders/Facilitators
Objective:
The objective of the Sisters of Earth Workshops is to provide a creative space for artists within the Ina DAO community to explore and delve deeper into the relationship between women and the natural world. By offering these workshops, we aim to inspire and support artists to create art that highlights the connection, harmony, and strength derived from nature and its profound influence on women’s lives and experiences.
In addition, the artworks created during these workshops will be automatically approved to enter in the “Sisters of Earth Art Contest”, further amplifying the voices and perspectives of our talented artists.
We intend to make 3 workshops, during the month of July with 3 different instructors. Shortly after the workshops we will create the open call for the Art Contest.
Workshop Details:
- Theme: The workshops will focus on the theme "Sisters of Earth: Celebrating Women’s Deep Connection to Nature " allowing artists to explore and express their unique interpretations and connections to this theme through their art.
- Facilitators: female artists with knowledge and experience in the intersection of women and nature can submit their proposal for the creation and facilitation of a workshop. For the workshop they will create the material that will be used during it, provide guidance, inspiration, and technical support to the participants.
- Format: The workshops will be conducted virtually, allowing artists from different locations to participate. Each workshop will consist of a series of interactive sessions that may include presentations, demonstrations, discussions, and hands-on activities.
- Workshop Duration: Each workshop must be at least 1h30 (over 2 different days to give time for learning and applying what was learnt and getting feedback if necessary), allowing participants to immerse themselves in the theme, experiment with different techniques, and develop their artistic skills and concepts.
- Collaboration: The workshops will foster a collaborative environment where artists can exchange ideas, share feedback, and inspire each other’s creativity. Participants will be encouraged to support and engage with one another throughout the workshop’s duration.
- Final Artwork: Artists will be encouraged to create one or more artworks inspired by the workshop experience and the theme of "Sisters of Earth: Celebrating Women’s Deep Connection to Nature ". These artworks will have the opportunity to be submitted to the Art Contest with the same theme for a chance to be recognized, showcased within the Ina DAO community and potentially win a prize.
- Resources: Reference materials, and digital resources related to the theme will be provided to participants by the facilitator to support their artistic exploration and development.
- Documentation: The workshop must be conducted live and recorded to be posted on Youtube for further reference.
- Participants limit: 10 participants for each workshop
