I'm sorry, I kicked it by mistake
About this Event
“I’m sorry, I kicked it by mistake” is an 1-2 hour Creative Writing workshop about intimacy, gossip, boundaries and belonging. We will activate the hanging textile installation ‘Othered Dreams,’ as part of Dhaga's exhibition: (be)longing.
This workshop speaks to the somatics of language, the physical feeling that bubbles in your gut, as you spill a secret, lie to protect someone, or remember things you never expected to hear. Through transcription exercises, movement games, and collective readings — we’ll juggle with language, shake it, soften it, until it resembles something closer to how words land. Participants can write in any language they desire, the workshop will be held mostly in English. Priority for Queer South Asian & QTIPOC people.
