Cvc Community Workshops Ways of Being — Expectation

A social, artist-led workshop from the Ways of Being series, held at Prince of Peckham in London, in which participants talk through the pressures of expectation and then make an artwork.

This is the first session of Ways of Being, a series of workshops run by Creative Voices Collective that look at everyday experiences shaping wellbeing. The session on expectation is a discussion-based activity in which participants consider how expectations affect their lives and how they connect with identity and personal experience.

The workshop combines conversation with creative work. It closes with participants making an artwork centred on letting go of perfection, so no prior artistic skill is presented as a requirement. The sessions are described as relaxed and open to all, and are aimed at adults, as the event is restricted to those aged 18 and over.

The session takes place at Prince of Peckham, a venue in Peckham, south-east London, that also hosts concerts and daytime activities. Ticket income is stated to support the collective's free community mental health programmes.
