BETWEEN A ROCK AND A SAFE SPACE

17 JUNE 13h00 - 15h30
location: Drie Gapers & bibliotheek Oostende
Open to all, please register here

This poetry facilitation will assist attendees through discussions and analysis of spacial awareness and impact. What does it mean to navigate spaces charged with colonial history? What is the impact this has on our socialisation of private and public spaces? What are safe spaces and what does it mean to have a safe space? The aim is to end up with our own written short poems responding to questions that will be given in the workshop.

We meet at the SOKL at Drie Gapers at 13:00, and walk together to the library (Wellingtonstraat 17, Ostend).
