PANEL (BSL Interpreted)
There will be an interactive panel: How do we make the creative industries a safer and more inclusive place for all?
How do we make the creative industries a safer and more inclusive place for all?
We Are Here Scotland are joined by three key voices from within the creative industries who have distinct yet equally valuable experiences to share. Aarti Joshi, Elle Parks and Harriet Mould will speak about what they feel is needed to make the sector a more inclusive and safer space, and why this should be a priority for those in positions of power. Chaired by Arusa Qureshi.
WORKSHOP
There will also be a workshop: Finding Your Voice
In this 60-minute workshop with Andrés N. Ordorica, we will explore the “language of love” and how it can be a powerful tool in both writing and activism. Through a series of free-writes and structured exercises, participants will be invited to reflect on community, friendship, and family. We will work together to craft work that is both personal, political, and celebratory. Although, we will look closely at the work of three poets, participants are invited to write in any style that suits them (poetry, prose, memoir, etc). This workshop is aimed at all levels of writers as well as those new to writing.
FEAST
We will be taking time during the day to enjoy a vegan buffet provided by The Glad Cafe.
