About this Event
The stories of those in our family who came before us are a rich vein to explore through either oral history, family myth or factual research.
In this workshop we will explore creating poetry, fiction, or creative nonfiction based on your own ancestor’s stories.
With several poems published that engage with the stories of her ancestors and community, Natalie will use this experience to lead writers to create their own ethical stories.
Creative writers are encouraged to bring in old family photos and documents to inspire writing exercises - don’t worry if you don’t have photos or documents as we’ll have prompts too!
Please book in as spaces are limited. For all inquiries contact Midland Public Library on (08) 9267 9020.
Please note that this program is suitable for ages 15+, and is a hands-on workshop. Photographs and videos may be taken of the event. Please book one ticket for each person attending.
