Self-ish Expressions is a 3-hour creative workshop designed by @Arwa51_workshops to help you pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself through play and paper. Whether you consider yourself creative or haven’t picked up a marker since school, this session invites you to explore your identity in a fun, accessible, and judgment-free space. Through a series of lighthearted prompts and expressive exercises, you’ll create a personal mini art book (or zine!) that tells your story in colors, shapes, doodles, and words — all using everyday materials.

Hosted in a cozy, inspiring KAVE, the workshop blends self-expression with community. You’ll start by answering creative prompts — like drawing your name in a language you don’t speak, or coloring your age in circles — and then transform your answers into pages of your own handmade zine. No two books will be the same, and that’s the beauty of it. Along the way, you’ll be gently guided through moments of laughter, curiosity, and maybe even a little self-discovery.

This workshop is for anyone feeling a little burnt out, stuck, or just craving something different. You don’t need to be an artist — just come with an open mind and a willingness to create. Leave with a one-of-a-kind keepsake, a clearer sense of self, and a reminder that creativity never really goes away — it just needs the right space to show up.
