SUMMARY:The Poetry Door: Who Am I?
DESCRIPTION:In these workshops\, we will consider how poetry can be a tool for self-expression and social justice\, for empathy\, and empowerment. \n\n\n\n\n\nThis month’s workshop is on the topic “Who am I?” We will look at how to write for self-expression and think about topics like Identity\, Memory and Belonging.\n\n\nEveryone has something valuable to express and poetry can help us process our own experiences and learn about the experiences of others. Through readings\, interactive exercises\, group writing games\, and generative prompts\, we will explore the power and joy of writing together. We’ll be working in a variety of forms\, inspired by a diverse set of voices and themes. Looking forward to collaborating with you all and seeing your beautiful words!\n\n\n\n\n\nThese sessions will be led by Serena Alagappan. Serena is a writer and researcher interested in the impact of creative writing on society. She has studied at Princeton and Oxford Universities and published her work in literary journals across the US and UK.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis workshop is best suited for people aged 13-18. No experience with poetry is required\, and all materials will be provided. Let us know you’re coming by booking a ticket HERE.\n\n\nThe Oxford Poetry Library is an accessible space but please contact us in advance if you have any access needs so we can accommodate those for you. You can email us on oxfordpoetrylibrary@gmail.com or using the contact form below.\n\n\n← Back Thank you for your response. ✨\n\n\n					\n						\n							\n							\n						\n						\n						\n						\n						\n							\n								\n									\n										\n										\n									\n									\n										\n										\n									\n								\n							\n						\n						\n							\n								\n									\n									\n										\n									\n									\n									\n								\n							\n						\n					\n				\n\n\n\n\nName(required)\n\n \n			\n				\n					\n						\n						\n						\n					\n				\n				\n			 \n	\n\n\nEmail(required)\n\n \n			\n				\n					\n						\n						\n						\n					\n				\n				\n			 \n	\n\n\nWebsite\n\n \n			\n				\n					\n						\n						\n						\n					\n				\n				\n			 \n	\n\n\nMessage\n\n \n			\n				\n					\n						\n						\n						\n					\n				\n				\n			\n	\n	\n\n				\n					\n				\n						Submit		\n		\n		\n	 \nΔ

SUMMARY:Writing New Histories of Oxford
DESCRIPTION:Oxford is a city rich in histories beyond the university. These histories are often part of the present\, and of our everyday lives.  \nThis free writing workshop is aimed at residents of Oxford who wish to put into words and images their experiences and memories of the city.  \nWe will explore local and individual memories of everyday life in Oxford\, and will encourage participants to share their own experiences\, with a view to including them in a book that celebrates Oxford’s communities\, and using extracts of the workshop writing in exhibition panels at the Museum of Oxford. No previous experience of writing is required – just be willing to share your memories and experiences\, and be ready to give writing a go. \nThis is a TORCH initiative in partnership with the Museum of Oxford and Oxford Poetry Library\, and workshops will be facilitated by Patrick McGuinness\, poet and writer\, and author of Real Oxford\, a book about the city beyond the dreaming spires. \nNo need to book – drop in from 2pm to 4pm to join in! \nOxford Poetry Library is an accessible space but please do contact us in advance if you have specific requirements. You can email us about this or with any questions about the workshop at oxfordpoetrylibary@gmail.com
