Creative Writing vs. The Hostile Environment: Written on the Bodies is a three-hour community creative writing workshop exploring black and brown queer migrant bodies as a site of border violence under the UK's hostile environment. The workshop combines community conversations, discussions, and writing exercises to empower participants on the many possibilities of creative writing to create a counter-language to the language of the hostile environment.
