Grief - Peace - Solidarity - Creative Workshop & Poetry Recitation

LANTERN ARTS CENTRE, WIMBLEDON + ONLINE

• WORKSHOP - IN PERSON, 4:00-5:15 PM GMT
• POETRY READING - IN PERSON + ONLINE, 5:30-6:30 PM GMT
  
  As the world burns, and people find themselves helpless as their own people - or other people - struggle, heavy grief sets in. For those of us who believe in our common humanity, solidarity becomes important. We gather to speak to this grief and show solidarity toward each other.
  Our guide is proportion and clarity as we reclaim our agency as humans through structured creative exercises and reflection:• Reflections on classic poetic texts
  • Guided reflective writing
  • Colour-based mapping
  • Moderated poetry reading & story sharing event fostering community
  About the facilitator: Muniba Mahmud is the slightly relentless engine driver behind Rawanee - who passionately believes in the power of creative expression.
  Studio Rawanee is an extension of over five years of literary and performing arts work - a practice-based space where language, structure, and creative exercises are used to explore resilience, proportion, and ethical clarity in lived life.
  This event is in collaboration with Song of the Red Butterfly - a humble initiative uniting hearts and changing lives through music and poetry events.
