Open Writing Circle
Confessionals: Writing Through Shame and Fear of Being Seen by Djibril Sall

Free event with registration
For LGBTQIA+

This writing workshop is an invitation to work with confession as a practice of release—something that you do for yourself and not under an authority. Together, we’ll use writing to move through shame and the fear of being seen, transforming what has been held tightly or silently into something you can shape, hold, and let go of. This is a space for experimentation, care, and risk, where confession becomes a tool for self-recognition rather than self-erasure.
Words and stories reside within all of us, waiting to be discovered.
Our monthly Open Writing Circle invites people with all levels of writing experience to explore their creativity and imagination.
In each session, one of Berlin’s many exceptional writers, poets, artists, or curators will create a vibrant and collective learning experience.
Whether you’re interested in fiction, memoir, non-fiction, or poetry, this supportive space encourages you to uncover the words within you. We’ll draw upon techniques used in writing workshops to unleash your innate talent in a collaborative environment that will allow for a dynamic exchange of ideas and insights.
This workshop aims to create an affirming, playful and empowering space for queer people to explore, express and celebrate their identities as well as to provide a platform for the stories of the LGBTQIA+ community to be shared, heard and valued.

Biba Oskar Nass (they/them), a trans boy and wordsmith, writes prose and poetry as a freelance artist. In their work, they address queer history and remembrance. Biba Oskar Nass is also a workshop host and co-publishes the queer literary magazine Transcodiert, among other texts.

Gast in diesem Monat: Djibril Sall
Confessionals: Schreiben durch Scham und die Angst, gesehen zu werden
Dieser Schreibworkshop lädt dazu ein, das Geständnis als persönliche Praxis der Befreiung zu nutzen, das für sich selbst und nicht unter einer Autorität geschieht. Gemeinsam werden wir das Schreiben nutzen, um Scham und die Angst, gesehen zu werden, zu durchqueren und das, was bisher festgehalten oder verschwiegen wurde, in etwas zu verwandeln, das man formen, halten und loslassen kann. Dies ist ein Raum für Experimentieren, Fürsorge und Risiko, in dem das Geständnis zu einem Werkzeug der Selbsterkenntnis statt der Selbstverleugnung wird.

Hinweise
Level: Es sind keine Vorkenntnisse erforderlich.
Sprache: Während die Gruppe hauptsächlich auf Englisch durchgeführt wird, bist du herzlich eingeladen, in jeder Sprache zu schreiben, in der du dich wohlfühlst.

Wir laden außerdem alle Schreibenden ein, eine zukünftige Sitzung zu leiten – bitte kontaktiere uns für weitere Informationen [events@wearevillage.org]()
