Reclaiming Narratives
Please note that this workshop is exclusively for Black Cardboard Citizens Members.
For Black History Month, writer Chantelle Dusette is running a workshop designed to help writers of colour connect to themselves and their story.
This year’s workshop will speak to Black History Month’s 2024 theme of ‘Reclaiming Narratives’. It will provide a space for writers to start thinking about their voice and the characters they want to depict, finding strength through individual writing exercises and group discussion.
There will be space for solo writing and sharing work if participants wish to do so.
For those who know, and those who don’t know, which part of their story they want to tell.
Please note that this workshop has limited places so please book soon to avoid disappointment.
