Style as Resistance: Fashion, Identity & Black Cultural Storytelling
Join art educator Ashlin Randolph for a reflective, hands-on workshop exploring identity, memory, and self-expression through fashion and visual storytelling, set in a beautiful outdoor garden at IMASALA Collective.
Together, we’ll explore how style can function as a powerful form of self-expression, memory, and resistance within Black cultural contexts. Through guided prompts, conversation, and collage, participants will create a personal piece that reflects their story, style, and cultural influences.
Expect a welcoming, community-centered experience that blends reflection, dialogue, and creative practice. You’ll leave with a meaningful visual piece and a deeper connection to your own narrative and sense of style.
✨ No art experience needed
✨ All materials provided
✨ Community-centered + interactive
Each attendee will receive 1 FREE drink from Masterpiece Coffee :), and refreshments will also be provided for the afternoon!
Come as you are and join us in a creative, intentional space for storytelling and expression.

Join me for a transformative six-week series that encourages individuals to explore their personal creative journeys while fostering community. Inspired by Richard Mayhew's insightful works, this program serves as a tool to understand how personal exploration can lay the groundwork for expansive creativity and help develop an artistic practice. This series aims to create a supportive environment for exploration, reflection, and growth, helping participants connect with their inner selves and build their own creative practices through mediums like watercolors and collage. Most materials will be provided, and artists are encouraged to bring existing projects to further develop their current work. This gathering will be facilitated by Ashlin Randolph - artist and educator.
The 6-week cohort costs $180 total ($30 per session) and offers a welcoming space to build creative momentum together.
