Rhymes with Resistance: Poetry Human Rights Workshop 詩作Ｘ人權工作坊
Details
What role does poetry play in international movements for human rights? How can the act of writing move us to act and help shape our visions for the future? In this afternoon workshop, participants will learn about the role of poetry in liberatory movements of the past, share a work that inspires them, and learn to compose their own poem for a human rights issue they care about. This event is open to all — from published poets to those with no poetry experience and interested in learning more.
Co-hosted by Taipei Poetry Collective, Amnesty International Taiwan English Speaking Group, and Der Spekter.
