About the Event
Bearing Witness: Women's Voices, Collective Responsibility
Come and take part in a safe and supportive poetry workshop with the theme of Bearing Witness. We will be exploring ways of writing about how we, as women, can re-frame negative experiences into more positive renditions of our stories.
This free workshop is aimed at women only due to the nature of the theme. Suitable for anyone new to poetry as well as more experienced writers, bring a notebook and pen, refreshments provided.
Please email fipenz@yahoo.co.cuk to reserve a place as spaces limited.
You are also invited to submit to the Bearing Witness Exhibition on December 9th, should you wish. Part of Penzance’s 16 Days, this community exhibition and reflection event highlights women's voices, experiences and creativity. Contributions could include words, images, artwork, audio, film or spoken testimony. We want to create a space where women's stories can be heard, witnessed and respected.…
