An exciting new two-day local literary festival of writers workshops, panel discussions and author events.
Designed for anyone with indigenous historical data who wants to tell their own life experience through memoir writing, this workshop will include an introduction to techniques of memoir reflection and writing exercises using indigenous cosmovision principles (nature directed). Exploring the main theme of indigenous writing, participants will examine the symbolic elements of an Aymara tribe community as an example, before each participant will have an opportunity to share and workshop their story.
