IN HER HANDS EXHIBITION
- hosted by Art From The Margins
On Friday 4th December 2020 we celebrated the In Her Hands Exhibition opening, which paints a picture of many Indigenous women’s voices and stories. It also highlighted the powerful influence that art can have on an individual’s healing journey, both through artistic expression or finding a connection to the community.
