Online Writing Workshop with Vanessa Kisuule

As part of Art of Resistance Trinity is exploring and documenting the art created by protest movements in Bristol. Key movement and their messages have been amplified by different art forms such as poetry, textiles, posters, banners, music and performing arts.

In this workshop you will explore the ways in which writing and performance can be used to to amplify messages through group discussion and fun writing exercises. No former writing experience is necessary, just passion, opinions and an open mind.

This workshop is part of What I Want To Be, What I Want To See

Trinity is thinking about the future, and we want to start by hearing from the people that matter - you. What you would do if you had no limits? Where would you go? What would you do? Who would you spend time with? And what are the changes you would like to see, locally or globally?

The project is supported through funding from the Cultural Recovery Fund helping Trinity still #behereforculture

Art of Resistance project is funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund
