Facilitator: Zack Nguyen
Description: “When Shadows Speak”is a collaborative project that invites everyone to use their own perception, emotion, and positive thinking to visually, and virtually lift each other up. We will be applying similar techniques to shadow arts, but with a meaningful intention: Practicing the act of kindness, and improving our own mental well-being through art.
