Family saree draping workshop
Learn the elegant skill of Bengali saree draping with help from Ananna, Manchester Bangladeshi Women’s Organisation. Who better to learn from, than Aunties who have mastered the art form over generations?
Everyone is welcome to join in this family workshop, get dressed up and have their photo taken to remember your experience in our award-winning South Asia Gallery. You’ll hear saree stories first-hand from different generations of Aunties, and we hope you can share your own too.
Ananna has empowered women for over 30 years across Greater Manchester; they provide meaningful activities, support and information for women who are survivors of domestic abuse or have struggled with mental health illness. Their mission statement: ‘Women and girls with a shared identity, striving together to enable positive change. For women, led by women.’
