Adorned Ancestry: Jewellery & Bead Symbolism
Journey through the history and symbolism of African adornments, learning how they communicate status, lineage, and beliefs across various tribes. Creative Activity: Create your own unique, personalised piece of jewellery, incorporating symbolic beads and colours that resonate with your personal journey.
Roots of Radiance: A Journey of Heritage and Healing is a transformative workshop series dedicated to uncovering the profound beauty, cultural richness, and healing traditions rooted in African heritage.
It is a space for celebration, education, and self-discovery through art, adornment, and self-care.From discovering the African origins of Colour therapy to exploring the symbolism of hair styles, these six unique workshops offer a dual experience: historical exploration combined with a hands-on creative activity.
Please note: The project is delivered at two different venues. The series culminates in an Installation on 24th and 25th April 2026, with the final educational workshop taking place on 25th April.
This project is presented as part of BH365 in collaboration with Wandsworth Council Borough of Culture.
