A Bridge between Starshine and Clay: Poetry for Empowerment
Join Take One Action New Promoter Tanatsei Gambura for a poetry reading and writing workshop in response to a specially curated programme of short films (Jesa, Cause of Death and Carne).
Tanatsei is a poet, intermedia artist and cultural practitioner whose work explores anti-colonial approaches to identity and womanhood. This event – for women and non-binary people – will open up a discussion about sexuality and the present and historical consequences of patriarchal cultures.
Titled after a line in Lucille Clifton’s iconic poem, won’t you celebrate with me, the workshop will centre moments of victory and liberation in women’s daily struggles. The role of language and creativity in activism is put into focus in this practical exercise on resistance and self-empowerment.
