We are partnering with Silver Rainbow Social Club & Queer Bookclub Castlemaine to offer a Memoir Writing Workshop for LGBTQIA+ older folks to spend a morning capturing your memories and life stories. The workshop will be facilitated by artist, filmmaker and author Anne Rittman, with guest speaker Tom Robb.
Anne Rittman taught art and filmmaking in Victorian Primary and Secondary schools for over 23 years. She co-founded and managed Pigtale, a design studio and small manufacturing business in Brunswick Street, Fitzroy. Anne was the instigator and a founding member of The Women’s Gallery which ran successfully for 8 years in Brunswick Street. Anne studied writing at RMIT, producing Telling Tales, an anthology of short stories, and The Spider and the Fly, a short film.
Anne published Brunswick Street, Art & Revolution in 2017, capturing the story of a street that became a culture. She recently published a follow up anthology, Bohemian Brunswick Street in 2024.
We'll also hear from local author Tom Robb who published ‘From the Top’
Whether you're an experienced writer or just starting out, this workshop will provide valuable insights and encouragement to help you put your memories on paper.
