<br />How can we personalise the political? What is the role of storytelling in our understanding of current events? Narrative writing can distill headlines and issues to individual experience, and remind us of our personal stake in a world of multitudes. In this creative writing workshop, participants will draw from the global sociocultural landscape to create fictions that illuminate the stories of individuals in the context of wider events. Activities will include guided writing exercises and critical feedback sessions to deepen our understanding of character, form, tension, and resolution.
