We’re looking forward to meeting Yasmin Chopin at our October meeting on
Tuesday 22nd October at 2.30pm
Writing through cancer with Dr Yasmin Chopin.
With a professional background in interior design, Yasmin centres her research and writing on art, architecture, design, home, and place. She gained a Masters Degree in Creative Writing in 2021, then a PhD in 2024, both with Manchester Metropolitan University.
Yasmin combines her design background and research with her training as a humanist funeral celebrant to offer a unique view on the way we live.
In 2020, Yasmin was diagnosed with oral cancer and spent her lockdown months recovering from major surgery. Nowadays, she is well, and looks forward to celebrating five years cancer-free next February. She says that writing helped her through the dark days—it gave her hope, and stretched her mind.
