✊🏼 Workshop on Poetry as Protest and Resistance
Do you feel angry, anxious, powerless about the climate crisis, genocide, kleptocracy, the resurgence of the far right across the globe? In this one hour online workshop we invite you to create short poetic statements that speak to power. Together, we will devise metaphorical soundbites of resistance and protest. Learn to express your emotions in ways that expose injustice, inequality, hypocrisy that cause the reader to reflect on the state of the world at this critical moment. As a form of writing, poetry is sharp, succinct and powerful. Like Banksy’s iconic images, our aim is to create poetic messages that are instantly understood.
For example:
He laughs and dances
Dreams of money mountains
Pulls the president’s strings
As babies die of hypothermia.
At the conclusion of the workshop, we will discuss how to disseminate your poems in impactful ways.
