2) Special Freestyle Session - Henna Workshop!
Explore the Art of Mehndi - Henna Workshop!
Collaboration with Dubai Soc.
Henna has been used throughout Africa, India, and the Middle East for thousands of years.
For centuries, mehndi - the art of henna painting on the body - has been practiced in India, Africa, and the Middle East. As far back as 1200 B.C. the ancient Egyptians were using henna on their nails and hair. Once the henna plant’s cooling properties were discovered, painting the skin became a way for the desert people of India to cool down their body temperatures. The henna plant is traditionally practiced for wedding ceremonies, during important rites of passage, and in times of joyous celebration, it is believed to bring love and good fortune, and to protect against evil.
So come and join us in our Henna Workshop on Thursday 20th November to celebrate this ancient cultural tradition of the Middle East, where you can learn this mysterious art.
Date: 7 - 9pm, Thursday 20th November
Price: Free
Location: Z332, St Philips North Block
Materials: All materials provided
