Workshops

DNAWORKS offers workshops to arts institutions, community and not-for-profit organizations, and in corporate environments. Our workshops are designed specifically for the host’s needs in the realms of creating greater connectedness through community-based creative practice and/or promoting sustainable institutional or community-wide change in equity, access, and opportunity for all.

Some examples of workshops that we have offered in the past include:

WE THE GRIOT

In traditional African societies, the griot or djeli is the community storyteller, historian, and living archive of communal knowledge. In this workshop, participants are asked to consider what it would mean for them to see themselves as the griots of their own cultures and communities. What would be their relationship to the words they speak, their daily actions, their connection with others?
