Sadya Mizan is a Bangladeshi artist, curator, educator and creative facilitator based in Aberdeenshire. For over a decade, she has worked across the arts and cultural sector through exhibitions, artist residencies, research, learning programmes and workshops, with a particular interest in heritage, archives, cultural accessibility and community-led practice. Her work across Bangladesh, the UK and Europe has brought her together with artists, museums, cultural & heritage organisations and diverse communities including minor, marginalised, displaced and refugee communities. Drawing from her South Asian heritage and multicultural experiences, Sadya enjoys creating spaces for people to learn through making, while bringing traditional and contemporary practices together through visual art, textiles, craft, storytelling and everyday materials. She is the founder of Uronto Artist Community and co-founder of hArticulture, through which she develops accessible creative experiences connecting art, culture, heritage, nature and community.

Drop in and experience henna, a temporary form of body art with a long cultural history across South Asia and many other parts of the world. Alongside having your henna applied, you can discover a little about the tradition of henna, how it is prepared and used, and the different kinds of patterns, symbols and decorative styles associated with it. Sadya brings her own Bangladeshi cultural experience of henna to the session while also exploring how this centuries-old practice continues to change and travel between cultures today. Choose from a selection of designs or talk with Sadya about creating something more personal. From traditional patterns to symbols that reflect something about you, your henna can become a small temporary narrative carried on your skin. There will be options to suit different age groups, including a range of fun designs for children.
