Project Concept and Methodology

This project offers a unique and innovative experience that merges art and therapeutic methods to create a safe space for the exploration of gender identity.

Why art?
Art provides an accessible and powerful medium to express complex thoughts and emotions, often enabling self-reflection and insight where words alone may fall short.

Who is it for?
The project welcomes individuals interested in exploring their personal relationship with gender through creative and inclusive activities, regardless of previous artistic experience.

What to expect?
Participants will engage in structured workshops, artistic techniques, guided discussions, and reflective practices designed to promote personal development and mutual understanding.
