A event on Sunday 16th November. The event starts at 15:00.
Writing for Resistance: RAGE is the first in a series of three writing workshops for folx with marginalised identities*.
'Rage is not a stand alone item. It is a substance waiting for our transformative efforts' - Clarissa Pinkola Estés
Maybe you've heard the quote 'if you're not angry you're not paying attention' and thought YES. Maybe you've noticed that as someone with a marginalised identity, your expression of anger is critiqued in ways a more privileged person's is not. Maybe you've been made to feel that your feelings of rage are inappropriate, unhelpful or unpleasant. Maybe your fury at the world's injustices is twitching in your fingers and needs a safe outlet. Maybe you are just sick of this shit.
In this workshop led by Dr Zosia Crosse, you will explore these ideas and more through guided writing exercises, with an emphasis on process rather than product. In a non-judgemental space (where sharing your work is not compulsory), you will be welcomed and held so that you can write your rage into resilience and feel like the vital part of the resistance that you are.
No previous writing experience is necessary. Please bring your own pens and notebooks.
Dr Zosia Crosse (she/her) is a queer, working class writer and writing coach (they do exist!) from Bristol. She was a young carer. She has 20 years’ teaching experience and over a decade of experience working with survivors of domestic and sexual violence. She writes fiction, biomythography and poetry, and her PhD thesis explored writing feminist fiction as a means of processing trauma. Her practice centres decolonial and trauma-informed approaches and her current research and writing investigates biomythography as a method of writing for marginalised people.
*'Marginalised identities' refers to those people and groups who are structurally and systemically discriminated against within our society due to characteristics such as race, gender, sexuality, ability, or socioeconomic status. These identities are marginalised because the dominant systems and structures are built around the needs, values, and perspectives of more privileged groups. This marginalisation results in a lack of representation and unequal access to resources, opportunities, and rights. Please only buy a ticket if this applies to you.
Please choose the ticket price that best fits your current circumstances. If you have the means to be a supporter your ticket will enable someone else to attend who does not have the means.
These workshops are fully accessible to those who use wheelchairs or have mobility issues.
Please feel free to email [email protected] if you have any questions.
This is the first workshop in the three part series. The second is REVENGE and you can find it here: https://hdfst.uk/e139279. The third is RAPTURE and you can find it here: https://hdfst.uk/e139280.
