A event on Sunday 30th November. The event starts at 15:00.
Writing for Resistance: RAPTURE is the third in a series of three writing workshops for folx with marginalised identities*.
'...that deep and irreplaceable knowledge of my capacity for joy comes to demand from all of my life that it be lived within the knowledge that such satisfaction is possible' - Audre Lorde
Maybe you believe there is no such thing as a guilty pleasure. Maybe you've come to realise that the kinder you are to yourself, the harder it is to allow others to be unkind to you. Maybe you're discovering the connection between experiencing moments of euphoric bliss and knowing your worth and agency. Maybe you've always known, but now it feels more urgent than ever. Maybe you're just sick of this shit.
In this workshop led by Dr Zosia Crosse, through guided writing exercises and with an emphasis on process rather than product, you will explore the function of rapturous delight in readying ourselves for revolution. In a non-judgemental space (where sharing your work is not compulsory), you will be welcomed and held so that you can write your rapture 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.
