Tim Tim Cheng Workshop - Travelling Light

“I have started to crave a version of travel writing which would make a different emotional account of all this arriving and leaving. [...] I have developed a sense of dislocation-in-location, balanced by home-in-awayness.”—Anthony Vahni Capildeo. How do movements re-route the ways we feel? How do we move spatially, historically, and/or linguistically? Between generative prompts, we will read and discuss writings by Xiao Yue Shan, Dionne Brand, Lawrence Ypil and more.

NB Zoom links to the individual workshops will arrive in your inbox 48 hours before each workshop. Please check your junk folder.
