This Is A Box

That @artofsuri has been making neat stuff again: she held the Creating Heroines pop-up stall last month where visitors could drop in and create a heroine. The she made a zine as part of a collaborative art project with the British Council’s literature team! You can download the free zine here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13qPYRXlPvuIDKiNTkcBs5_lNOYQnzG1K/view

One of the reasons I've been on a hiatus – last month I got an amazing opportunity to travel to Kathmandu, Nepal to participate in a workshop titled 'Creating Heroines' as part of the @wowglobal Festival organised by the @britishcouncil . I got to meet and make friends with the coolest girls + illustrators @_bandanaa @macha_73 & Promina Shrestha from Nepal and @isurimh from Sri Lanka ❤️💛💜💙💖⭐️ so much love for you guys!!! And @nicolast.reeten facilitator of our workshop and all time illustrator star, thank you for being you 💃🏽💪🏽👑 basically QUEEN! . We spent 3 beautiful and invigorating days together, talking and drawing about what mattered to us as women in our separate countries and cultures and bring them together to see how many of our experiences overlapped. During the course of the workshop, we came to the conclusion that there is no such thing as a perfect woman or a perfect heroine. A heroine for us, is a woman who owns up to her strengths along with her flaws. A woman who works to get what she wants and tries to learn from her mistakes. A woman who is strong, but can also be scared at times. . #creatingheroines #britishcouncil #southasia #pakistan #nepal #srilanka #kathmandu #workshop #girlsrule #girlpower #illustrator #illustration #illustrationworkshop #subcontinent #browngirls (at Kathmandu, Nepal)
