Lost & Found Poetry: an all-levels writing workshop on gender and trauma
At Nous Tous Gallery, Chinatown LA
454b Jung Jing Rd, Los Angeles, CA 90012
7PM-9PM
In this workshop, we apply creative writing techniques to explore personal experiences with gender, sexuality, mental health, and violence. Using constrained writing and poetry exercises, we will learn how to embrace vulnerability as a source of strength and pain as fuel for inspiration. We will also address how creative expression can help us confront traumatic experiences and heal ourselves through rewriting personal narratives.
Participants will take home at least one completed piece of writing. Suitable for all ages and experience levels. Please be prepared to share stories (of your choosing) in an intimate group setting.
