Information - Home from Home Poetry Workshop
As part of Platforma Festival join local writer Sue Wallace-Shaddad for a poetry workshop reflecting on the challenges of belonging and consider what makes us who we are, and how our identities are influenced by others.
Being part of a community and feeling you belong are foundational aspects of human life; they provide stability and a sense of identity. Too often, reality is rather different. A person may become separated from their community because of personal circumstance, conflict or war and have to learn how to belong in a different place. People may have links to more than one community through their heritage and feel they have to negotiate who they are, where they belong.
In this workshop you will read and discuss poems and respond to writing prompts drawing on your own experience and that of others.
Please bring a photograph or small object to help stimulate your writing.
