Hana Pera Aoake Bus Projects x TCB Emerging Writers’ Program: Writing Workshop
Dates: Thursday 5th September, 6-7pm
This workshop will think about ways of engaging with the non-human world through an Indigenous worldview. Through discussion and reading together, this session is designed to encourage participants to think about how they relate to country and how they might begin to write about the complicated relationships we hold to place.
Upon confirmation of attendance, participants will be contacted with associated pre-reading and relevant information for this session. Prior to the workshop, participants are encouraged to consider a body of water that they feel connected to, and why.
Held at Bus Projects, 7 Little Miller Street, Brunswick East.
Free to attend, but places are limited. RSVPs essential via Eventbrite.
