ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

The workshop will be run by Desire Bigalske.

Braided hairstyles have a long tradition in many African cultures - they tell stories, show belonging and bring people together. This workshop invites you to get to know and try out techniques together and gain a little insight into the importance of braiding.

The workshop is open to everyone, regardless of experience or background.
