Hag-ia
Hagia means holy.
Hag: a once sacred word, turned into a slur by powerful men of history who disparaged, demonised and burned women at the stake because they had the temerity to be independent. Their knowledge was erased.
In this workshop we reclaim this word and ask ourselves: can we recover a sense of connection to our women ancestors whose voices were silenced? Can we uncover their lost wisdom? This is a remembering. A relearning. You will gain the language and the time to connect to those who informed who you are. You will experience a successful method of dialogue, making, journalling, and embodying to encounter the stories and wisdom of our women ancestors.
We, our conversations, and what we create together, is the art.
"Tarsha is producing important work." - Artist Daniel Connell.
You will be invited to bring an object, memory, or food from a recipe that belonged to one of your women ancestors. This is not compulsory. Yourself and your stories are enough. Please allow space for the entire time in your schedule. Thank you.
