WOMEN OF WORDS. A day of poetry workshops for women, presented by Diverse Artists Network and Stone the Crones.

There will be two back-to-back workshops, with a lunch break in between. You can book to attend one workshop or both. Bring your own food and hang out with other women of words in the lunchtime break.

WORKSHOP 1 (DIVERSE ARTISTS NETWORK):
11:00 - 13:00

Bristol WOW factor: imagine the city in 2050 - let’s write the future into being.

An experimental collage poetry workshop for women to play with words, ideas, visions, and hopes. We will co-create a group poem, starting with prompts and writing games, to build up a Bristol Vision poem about the city where we belong, have a say, where our needs are met, and our people are seen.

Poet Agata Palmer will guide us through a process of co-creating, working from the individual to the whole. Bring your imagination and your own food for the day. No experience necessary. Women of all ages are welcome.

WORKSHOP 2 (STONE THE CRONES):
14:00 - 16:00

Write Your Roar

Stone the Crones poetry workshop for older/ageing/elder women. (re)find your voice and release your creative crone with Anita Karla Kelly and Beccy Golding. No experience necessary. 40+

Part of Lyra - Bristol Poetry Festival 2023's outreach and commissions programme.
