About the event
The Mission
Many refugees arriving at the Bosnian Centre for guidance carry significant emotional burdens, often facing confusion or depression resulting from past trauma. Recognizing the vital need for emotional release and mental well-being, Think Artist partnered with the Bosnian Centre to organize a specialized therapeutic art workshop.
The Workshop
Facilitated by award-winning artist Armstrong Agoreyo, this session focused on using repurposed waste materials as a medium for art therapy. Over 15 participants gathered for a day of creativity centered around the theme: “Down Memory Lane.”
Rather than focusing on recent hardships, participants were guided through critical thinking activities designed to recall happy moments, cherished objects, and loved ones from their home countries.
