This event is a community-centered generative poetry workshop exploring migration, belonging and home. Through guided writing prompts, conversation, and creative reflection, participants will have the opportunity to share experiences, honor personal and collective histories and imagine new ways of connecting across differences.

This workshop welcomes people of all writing backgrounds and life experiences.

Together, we will explore how migration, movement, family, culture, language, and place shape our identities and communities. Participants will generate new poetry inspired by their own stories while listening to and learning from the experiences of others.
