We are delighted to invite you to discover the results of this year’s somewhat different edition of the “Paper That Heals” workshop. This season, drawings took the place of collage, while words expanded across different languages. Under the motto “in search of a better life” the workshop welcomed participants from diverse backgrounds and focused on stories of journeys, migration, and creating a home far from home — whether that home lies beneath Marjan Hill or at the foot of the Himalayas.

Alongside drawings, poetry, and stories created by participants from various parts of the world, we will also present works by an informal neighbourhood group that has been gathering for several years in the periods between workshops. 

See you on Wednesday at Nova BAZA!
