Project Description

With support from the California Arts Council, A PLACE OF HER OWN will expand its culturally sensitive, arts-based healing program for women of color to include an alumni training and support tract, “PLACE Project 2.0.” Alumni from past PLACE cohorts in the San Francisco Bay Area and the Central Valley will continue their healing and transformation to build strength as a group and grow their ability to serve more communities. New art-based workshops will explore and support their needs and healing journeys. The program will also provide leadership development opportunities, expand their skills in facilitation, mentoring, communications, feminine informed leadership, curation, public speaking, and event production. Alumni will be encouraged to develop ideas for future PLACE supported projects that serve their community networks. This project culminates in a series of Artists’ Talks.

Organization Summary

We offer both hybrid, online and in-person lectures, workshops, art exhibitions, lectures and artists’ talks sharing intuitive art making processes for self-reflection, and group discussions that help explore and release generational family trauma. Participants learn to recognize and release family patterns, including links to cultural and societal dysfunction. To claim aspirations, and grow self-agency, the art workshops, artists’ talks and exhibitions provide platforms to artistically answer the question: “If you had a place of your own, what would it be?” This is an artistic exercise in “self-agency”.
Below is our foundational hybrid, virtual and in-person workshop series with the goal of providing a printed book and an online e-learning engagement tools.
Foundational WORKSHOP Residency series in 4 PHASES (These can be delivered separately)
Preparation: Turning on Your Intuition: Intuitive Collage. Experience accessing your intuition and turning off your analytic brain.
Phase 1: Exploring Hungry Ghosts– Identifying family patterns and beliefs holding you back.
Phase 2: Releasing Hungry Ghosts– Art projects to release beliefs and patterns no longer serving you. Practicing self-acceptance and forgiveness.
Phase 3: Claiming My PLACE– Intuitive Art creation in answer to, “If you had a place of your own, what would it be?”
Phase 4: Proclaiming My PLACE– The Exhibition/Artists’ Talk. A public statement of what you want for your life. Practice overcoming fear of judgement.

Leadership Development:
PLACE works to provide alumni with opportunities for deeper healing and development of self-agency into leadership. Alumnae are invited to participate as exhibition artists, workshop facilitators, speakers, event coordinators and community workshop collaborators.
