Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays we are open for Djembe classes from 7:30-8:30pm.
Thursdays at 6,7&8pm Issyra Gallery presents - Inspiration Trap Creativity Workshops a special session of creative thinking and fresh insight dedicated to inspiration.
We live in a world of constant change that requires us to be able to continually adapt and innovate in order to succeed. Unfortunately, many of us have forgotten how to delve into our raw creativity and leave behind the rigidity of the frameworks we have progressively interiorized.
This unique workshop seeks to reclaim our inspiration and imagination, rethink the unthinkable. It is ideal for people working in the creative arts as well as students, entrepreneurs, team managers, corporate leaders and anyone looking to implement their creative vision.
Inspiration is a vital driving force in our lives that moves us to create our best work and lights the way for new, authentic ideas. How do we invite, cultivate and harness inspiration so that we are able to bring these ideas into reality?
As a self-taught artist exploring various avenues of self-expression, Issa Sow draws a distinction between the phenomenon of inspiration itself and our task of making ourselves ready for it.
In the upcoming Inspiration Trap workshop, we will imagine ways we can invite and contain our inspiration, and well as keep our mind in the open, dynamic state as a receptacle or a “canvas” to collect, reflect and grow our ideas.
Feel free to bring along a personal object, a piece of clothing or even a small piece of furniture to play with during this hands-on experiment in innovative thinking. There are surprises and new elements in each session!
