See event details

A event held at Bristol Folk House on Sunday 8th June. The event starts at 11:00.


Taking inspiration from her own award-winning family memoir, Crossing, Sabrin Hasbun will deliver a workshop that focuses on life writing to actively reclaim our naratives, in a time of dehumanisation, growing censorship and erasure.

There will be only 15 places available.

We will give 3 free concession tickets for this workshop. If you are interested and would like to participate, please contact us telling us why you would like to attend at awraqfestival.com

Sabrin Hasbun is a Palestinian-Italian transnational writer. She has recently worked as writer, editor, translator, and trainer for several institutions around the world and published articles, both individual and collaborative, about collective creation in communities. She now works as a Lecturer in Creative Writing at Cardiff Met university, specialising in writing for liberated imaginations and alternative futures. Crossing, Sabrin’s recently published family memoir about displacement told through the love shared between her Italian mother and Palestinian father, was awarded the Footnote x Counterpoints Writing Prize.
