Join us for "Crown Connections," an empowering and hands-on workshop inspired by Courtney Brooks' powerful fiber art installation, "This Crown Belongs to US."
This special event, presented by Journey of a Black Girl, you to connect, share, and celebrate the artistry and cultural significance of Black hair braiding. Just as the oversized braids in the exhibition highlight the creativity and importance of Black hair practices, this workshop offers a space to learn, practice, and build community around this cherished tradition.
Come ready to learn, connect, and embrace the beauty and power of our hair.
Courtney Brooks is an Atlanta based visual artist, art instructor and independent curator. Originally from Denver, Colorado, she rekindled her passion for painting by encouraging creativity and connecting communities through the arts.
Join us for a transformative morning of movement and sound at Flow State, a one-hour immersive yoga experience led by Sydney McCall, accompanied by the live sounds.
