The Pleasure of Resistance

Creative writing workshop with award-winning poet Caleb Parkin

Resisting injustices and pushing progress can be exhausting. How do we invite people towards change?

The Pleasure of Resistance is a free online workshop with award winning Bristol City poet Caleb Parkin  exploring ways in which creative writing can be used to amplify messages.

In the workshop you will explore resources you need to 'resist', you’ll be invited to think about joyous, creative ‘marks of resistance’ in your day-to-day life, celebrating their details. Participants are encouraged to bring magazine articles or other forms of writing for inspiration.

This workshop is for writers at all stages, ages and abilities. If you would like to take part please sign up using the ticket link.  A Zoom link will be supplied closer to the event. The workshop is free but spaces are limited.
