SUMMARY:Interrogating the gaze as an avenue towards counter-storytelling
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”394565″] \nCounter-Storytelling: Interrogating the Gaze \nHow do your experiences shape the stories you tell? In this interactive writing workshop\, you’ll explore the power of perspective\, unpack the idea of the “gaze”\, and discover how inherited ways of seeing influence academic writing and creative work. Through thought-provoking discussions\, creative writing exercises\, and collaborative reflection\, you’ll develop practical tools for crafting more intentional\, nuanced\, and authentic stories. Whether you’re a writer\, filmmaker\, designer\, or simply curious about storytelling\, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to challenge the “single story” and rethink the narratives we create. It aims to equip participants with the tools to scrutinise and subvert their own biases. \nSpace is limited to ensure an engaging and interactive workshop. Please RSVP HERE \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
