Thanks to all the wonderful women who returned and got involved in our second Wild Hillfoots: Herstory Workshop.
Mexican painter Frida Khalo was our inspiration and our theme was ‘Perception’ for Week 2. Frida Kahlo’s life and works provoked much discussion which led to more stories and self portraits from our participants.
