And creatives Tsungai Tsikirai and Ruth Fones are also involved in the delivery of workshops.
A spokesperson for the project said: "Songwriting and art is a chance to express feelings and tell stories - shining a light on women’s issues such as domestic violence.
“The workshops will be a safe opportunity for women to express themselves, make friends, build confidence and explore their creativity. No experience is required for women to participate and we hope that the legacy exhibition will inspire more local people to be creative.”
