Roots Revived: Crafting Connections Through Upcycling Diaspora Treasures by Alizée
Embark on a journey of creativity and heritage with our upcycling workshop! Join Alizée as we breathe new life into cherished fabrics and accessories from our personal diasporas. Whether it's a beloved piece passed down from your parents' own diaspora , Alizée will guide you through the process of transforming them into unique bags. In this workshop, we celebrate the beauty of repurposing, turning nostalgic fragments into practical accessories that carry not just our belongings, but also our stories and cultural roots.
This event is open to everyone, but please note that children under 14 years old need to be accompanied by an adult
