A webinar with Bronagh Lawson on artistic practice, inclusion and cross-cultural collaboration.

Join the Ukrainian Woman project on September 30, 2026, for a webinar with Bronagh Lawson exploring how art can strengthen communities, foster inclusion and support social healing.

The session will offer practical insights into artistic capacity building, community engagement and cross-border collaboration, drawing on Bronagh’s experience of bringing people together through creative practice.
