Creative Encounters: Matchbox Canvases

Design and make your own beautiful keepsake inspired by vintage South Asian matchboxes and take home a pocketful of potential. Join Dhaga, a South Asian collective known for curating critically engaged exhibitions and intimate gatherings, for a reflective end-of-year gathering. The workshop explores fire’s cyclical nature as a way to mark the close of the year through release, creation and collective liberation. Dive into a hands-on matchbox design activity inspired by vintage South Asian matchbox aesthetics, transforming an ordinary object into a personal archive and a symbolic spark for renewal. Creative Encounters is your creative space in the heart of the city, bringing together Londoners old and new for art, making and conversation.
