Stories in Henna: A living Tradition
Saturday 13 September 2025 at 10:00 AM
Naenae Neighbourhood Hub
Event Description
From Razia's childhood memories of watching delicate mehndi cones weave flowers and paisleys, to creating her own designs, henna has always been more than art - it’s identity, memory, and celebration.
Mehndi has been practiced for over 5,000 years across India, Egypt, and the Middle East, carrying deep meaning as a symbol of joy, luck, and protection. Traditionally adorning weddings and rituals, its timeless motifs have also inspired contemporary tattoo culture.
Join Razia for this workshop exploring the beauty of henna body art and cultural traditions, where ancient patterns meet modern creativity, and every swirl tells a story.
