A creative workshop on identity, belonging, and chosen family
What does home mean to you? A place? A memory? A person? A promise?
This National Day season, Seen & Heard returns as a 3-hour experiential workshop centering queer expressions of home—not just where we live, but how we live, who we become, and what we hold close.
Through guided creative activities, music and art therapy processes, and intimate storytelling, this workshop invites participants to explore how queer identity is shaped by, and shapes, our sense of home. Whether home has felt like sanctuary or struggle, this space will hold space for all of it—with tenderness, truth, and a little sparkle.
Together, we will:
Reflect on personal and collective experiences of home and belonging
Create symbolic artworks and soundscapes that express our inner worlds
Share stories of holding on—through silence, resistance, joy, and chosen kin
Experience the healing power of being seen, heard, and held in community
Whether you are just beginning to explore your identity, deep in the process, or someone who holds space for others—this is an invitation to root, to reach, and to reimagine what home can mean.
Come as you are. Let art and music do the rest.

With a grounded and compassionate presence, she supports others in finding their voice—especially in moments when words are hard to reach. Rooted in her own queer journey, Evelyn’s work focuses on creating spaces where people can feel seen, heard, and connected through sound and shared expression.

Her practice is rooted in honouring each person’s unique pace, using art and creative processes as tools for self-expression and connection. As a queer practitioner passionate about community care as much as self-care, Rae Yi's work focuses on creating gentler spaces for collective healing and support through community engagement.
