Being adopted and/or being separated from a child through adoption is often a complex and traumatic experience. Creative practices can offer a form of liberation and healing.
At VANISH, we offer a range of creative workshops for people affected by adoption. Our workshops provide a safe space to explore a wide range of emotions and complex personal narratives. No artistic experience or skill is necessary!
This year, we are delighted to present a more diverse, expanded program featuring visual art, therapeutic writing, and textiles led by distinguished artists and facilitators.
