Poetry with Pride - Poetry Session with Auburn Langley

📅 Sunday 24th August

🕑 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM

📍 Port Independent, Sunderland

Poetry is radical self-expression.

It can be hilarious, heartfelt, angry, tender — a whisper or a roar.

It might crack you open, make you laugh, or help you find words for something you've never said out loud.

Your Queer identity might be one layer of your being — a glittery highlight — or the whole beautiful cake.

Queer is a term for all sexualities and gender identities outside the cis-het norm — fluid, personal, and proudly expansive.

Like queerness, poetry is subjective.

There’s no right or wrong — only your way.

✨ No experience with poetry needed — just curiosity and an open heart.

✍️ We'll explore identity, voice, and creative expression in a calm, collaborative space.

🗣️ Performance is encouraged, but not required.

🎨 All materials provided.

🌈 LGBTQIA+ Safe Space

💖 Inclusive, gentle, and creatively welcoming vibes

Come write, reflect, and connect with artist and writer Auburn Langley in this supportive and inspiring afternoon workshop.

In June 2024, Port Independent proudly launched Harbour Printworks CIC, a community-focused design and print shop rooted in empowering the people of Sunderland and the North East. Harbour is built to champion grassroots projects, and support young people, individuals from low socioeconomic backgrounds, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and local creative enterprises.

We aim to foster creativity, enhance skills, and build a network where innovation and growth thrive. To achieve this, we are developing a printing studio and need your support to bring it to life. By attending our workshops, designed for kids and adults alike, you’ll gain hands-on experience in printmaking and creative skills and directly contribute to setting up our facility and securing essential equipment.

Join us in building Harbour Printworks CIC into a vibrant hub for Sunderland’s talented and diverse community. Your support will make this vision a reality—thank you for being part of our journey!
