Seniors Festival: LGBTQIA+ Memoir Writing Workshop
Event description
We are partnering with Silver Rainbow to offer a Memoir Writing Workshop for LGBTQIA+ older folks to spend a morning capturing your memories and life stories. Â
The workshop will be facilitated by artist, filmmaker and author Anne Rittman.Â
Anne Rittman taught art and filmmaking in Victorian Primary and Secondary schools for over 23 years. She co-founded and managed Pigtale, a design studio and small manufacturing business in Brunswick Street, Fitzroy. Anne was the instigator and a founding member of The Women’s Gallery which ran successfully for 8 years in Brunswick Street. Anne studied writing at RMIT, producing Telling Tales, an anthology of short stories, and The Spider and the Fly, a short film. Â
Anne published Brunswick Street, Art & Revolution in 2017, capturing the story of a street that became a culture. She recently published a follow up anthology, Bohemian Brunswick Street in 2024. Â
Whether you're an experienced writer or just starting out, this workshop will provide valuable insights and encouragement to help you put your memories on paper.
