In this workshop, the artist will take you on a journey centring on social justice and prison abolition to imagine alternative futures. Drawing from writers like Audre Lorde to inspire us, we will be using spoken word poetry as our tool. Bring yourselves, a water bottle / cup of tea, and something to write with.
