Writing To and From Your Inner Child: A Creative Writing Workshop

This creative writing workshop aims to connect you with your inner child. All of us have an inner child that wants to be heard in the midst of all the clamour of adult responsibilities, and this workshop aims to help us listen to and respond to this vital inner voice. 

Using the stunning adult picture book Marcus and the Shadow written by our facilitator, award-winning writer and artist Judith Huang, which has been adapted into a Virtual Reality artwork that showed at PICA in 2022, we will aim to tune into our deepest needs and emotions, and produce creative writing that nurtures the soul. This workshop is for anyone who has wanted to try their hand at creative writing, and the only requirement is an open mind.
