We'll begin with a henna workshop inspired by the themes and imagery in Shawky's art. Wael Shawky is internationally known for his multidisciplinary practice exploring history, identity, and storytelling. His visually rich works such as the Cabaret Crusades series, reimagines historical narratives using marionettes, performance, and intricately painted sets.
The henna supplied is by Mahsa (@mahsastories) who makes her own organic henna cones.
