Description

Familiar Strangers: Writing across Languages and Cultures

Sunday 20th November, performance 11-1pm, workshop 2-4pm

Events Room, Ikon Gallery, Birmingham

This day of creative exchanges will explore how in multicultural communities we translate and transact between languages when we express our experiences and emotions and listen to the stories others tell.

In the morning, we will hear readings from a multilingual group of Birmingham-based writers. An afternoon drop-in workshop will invite the public to bring the words they associate with feelings of hope and fear and work together with us to produce short pieces of writing.

The writers performing are: 'Femi Abidogun, Kristina Gavran, Pascale Presumey, Shirin Ramzanali Fazel, Farideh Valigholizadeh and Ahmed Magare.
