SEWA Ladies Group

SEWA is a ladies' group for South Asian elders of various backgrounds, where we gather to create, catch up with friends, and do activities. For the ladies, art is a way to keep creating, sharing, and expressing themselves. It brings us together, supports to give a sense of purpose, and provides an outlet when words are at times difficult to find. What is hope mean to us you ask? Hope, to us, is found in the simple things that light up our everyday lives: cooking our favourite meals and sharing them with our loved ones, time spent creating, doing meaningful work, prayer, the light of God, and the love and light that is our family and grandchildren. These moments may seem small, but they shine brightly for us. Our piece, ‘Our Beacons in the Dark’, reflects the things that guide, comfort, and bring us joy, helping us find light even on the more challenging days.
