Access Information

Workshop

Conversations on Journaling

Led by Idil Hassan, this session looks at the practice of journaling and its role in making sense of our place in the world. Through structured discussion and some practical exercises, the workshop will present ideas for starting or maintaining a journal. We will explore the radical potential of journaling as a method for documentation during times of social upheaval, as a tool for radical self-acceptance, and as a means for unblocking other creative practices.

This event is free, but spaces are limited and booking is required.  This event will take place on Zoom; attendees will be sent a link, text and guidelines ahead of the event.
