Henna workshop programmed for the Edinburgh College of Art (ECA) Welcome Week. We invited students to respond to Wael Shawky’s exhibition, exploring the idea of puppetry and retelling stories from a different perspective.

‘We are all like marionettes manipulated by forces we cannot see’ Wael Shawky

Participants created their own henna hand puppets to retell stories from there lives that have been misunderstood.
