Drawing Room: An Eye for Symbols

Drawing Room: An Eye for Symbols

Thursday, September 11, 2025
6:00 to 8:00
In-Person
Facilitator: Wishaal Khalid

We'll be dipping our toes into the world of the unconscious through a simple yet powerful art process. We will begin with freeform scribbling, allowing shapes, lines, and then symbols to appear on the page. Then we will choose one symbol to deepen our connection with, redrawing it, expanding and engaging with it, while reflecting on its personal resonance. We might even look the symbol up in the The Book of Symbols! This is less about making art, and more about seeing it for what it is: communication from the unconscious- which is symbolic & imaginal.

This workshop is free for all. We encourage minimal waste, so please bring your paper, sketchbooks, or other drawing instruments along with your creativity with yourself. We will have A4 sheets, basic pointer pens, pencils, and erasers available from our end if needed.

Nani Ghar Drawing Room is a weekly drawing series where we create and share art together. This series is inclusive for all people wanting to make art in a judgement free zone. No prior skills required, just your imaginations!

The Drawing Room is also a community-led initiative, so feel free to propose what you'd like to do next. This is also an opportunity for anyone who wants to lead a workshop! If you have an idea, and would like to lead a workshop, please reach out, the team will be there to support you in planning and facilitation.
