About this Event
Please note: this event will be held in person.
In this workshop series, we will engage with readings, discussions, and prompts to write alternatives to the capitalist hellscape and find possibilities in its decay. We will write across forms and take inspiration from zines, archives, fiction and our imaginations. Drop in or come to all three. Sharing work will be encouraged but optional.
Session 1: Past
In the first session in this series we will consider social movements for liberation across history and their lessons.
Each session in this series is standalone, but you are welcome to attend all three.
