The Travelling Dot: An 8-Week Journey in Creative ExpressionInspired by Paul Klee’s quote “A line is a dot that went for a walk,” this unique program uses the imaginative journey of “The Travelling Dot” to guide participants through a transformative experience in visual art, writing, and performance.

Program Overview:Over eight weeks, participants will explore their identities, build self-esteem, and celebrate inclusivity and mental well-being through creative self-expression.
