Shadow work involves exploring and integrating the hidden, unconscious aspects of one’s personality. Rooted in Jungian psychology, it delves into suppressed emotions and unresolved issues, fostering self-awareness and personal growth. By facing and embracing the “shadow,” individuals strive for wholeness, acceptance, and balance in their lives.

Join resident artist HOPE McCorkle for a self-portrait workshop and tour of her solo exhibition “dancing with my shadows: a journey to self discovery” in Creative Alliance’s Amalie Rothschild Gallery. Participants are invited to experience the artwork in the gallery, inspired by shadow work, self-love, transformation, and healing followed by a collage artmaking session in the Creativity Center. Attendees will create self-portraits of their shadow selves on the cover of journals (provided) to support and encourage their shadow work journey.

Where: Creativity Center, 3137 Eastern Ave. Baltimore, MD 21224
When: AUG 1 | 6-8 PM
Age Range: 18+
Cost: $25 standard, $21 members
Materials: All materials provided! All are welcome, and no previous experience with art, collage, or journaling is necessary!

Artist Bio
HOPE (Tonisha Hope McCorkle) is an interdisciplinary artist and performer whose canvas is not just a surface but a portal for healing. She creates transformative and emotionally resonant works of art through painting, collage, movement, and sculpture. Weaving together the threads of memories, color, and symbolism, HOPE constructs evocative representations that go beyond visual perception. Her creations provide a space for introspection, inviting viewers to explore the profound processes of transformation, intimacy, and self-discovery. Through her unique blend of storytelling and visual expression, HOPE’s art not only invites observation but encourages a deep, empathetic connection that transcends the canvas.

Through education and soul food, HOPE nurtures spirit and community by teaching healing through art to the youth and sharing her passion for cooking through immersive experiences. HOPE makes up half of the artist collective Hope and Faith ♡, an interdisciplinary art collaborative formed with twin sister, FAITH (Eleisha Faith McCorkle). Their work serves as testaments to healing by example, honoring the Black mother, spirit, food, and childlike wonder in the stories told through their scrolls, films, installations, and other creations.

HOPE’s vision extends beyond herself, embracing a higher purpose that dives deep into the soul, inviting others to join her on a journey of hope, healing, and exploration.
