Overview

In the quiet act of facing the mirror, women throughout history have created self-portraits not simply as a means of recording their image, but as a bold and defiant act of self-reclamation. In a world that often insists on defining them, these women have turned the act of looking inward into a revolutionary gesture of resilience. The Mirror and the Palette invites you to explore how self-portraiture becomes a canvas for rebellion and transformation, where each brushstroke may embody an act of defiance, a declaration of independence, or a reclaiming of the narrative.

This course will explore how self-portraiture, both a deeply personal and a universal act, becomes a powerful tool for redemption.
As women engage in the act of self-representation, they offer us not only a visual reflection but a profound story of resilience and inner revolution. These portraits are more than artistic ex-pressions; they are declarations of survival, triumph, and reinvention.
Each image speaks to the artist’s confrontation with both the ex-ternal world and her own inner battles, transforming her self-perception and, in turn, the world around her.

Alongside this exploration, we will offer three workshops designed to guide you through different approaches to self-portraiture. These workshops — The Self-Mapping Self-Portrait, The Symbolic Self-Portrait, and The Expressionist Self-Portrait — will give you the tools to create your own visual narrative and deepen your understanding of the redemptive power of the self-portrait.

Join us on a transformative journey of self-discovery and creative expression, where art becomes both a mirror to the soul and a vehicle for inner revolution. Through rebellion, resilience, and the pursuit of redemption, we will uncover how these powerful images illuminate the eternal struggle for self-identity—and how, through this very process, the self can be reimagined and restored.

Zoom sessions are scheduled every Saturday for the 7-weeks of the programme.
All sessions will be recorded to view afterwards for students unable to attend live.

Times: Lectures start at 4 PM London/ 12-midday New York (recorded for those unable to attend live)
