Sniffing colours

8 - 17 JANUARY 2025

State Library of Queensland

Immerse yourself in a vibrant world of creativity and colour with this unique workshop hosted by talented artist, Annika Strand and her co-collaborator Soraya del Castillo.

In this inclusive disability led hands-on, nose-on, creative art workshop, prepare to challenge the norms of art-making as you explore the canvas using your nose and various body parts, to push the boundaries of artistic expression and challenge your own ideas of what is possible.

Be inspired by Annika’s personal journey and how she discovered art alongside her favourite furry friend Albie. You’ll be invited to embrace Annika’s unique nose painting style to create your own colourful canvas to take home. You might like to take inspiration from a favourite feathered, fluffy, furry or scaley friend of your own – bring a photo if you like.

People of all abilities are warmly welcomed and encouraged to participate in this workshop, which is designed to be inclusive for everyone.
