Overview
Ever wanted to try your hand at poetry?
This year, we're hosting Arts Students' Union's first poetry workshop. We invite you to tranform your ideas into art at this intimate workshop led by the amazing poet, Lagnajita Mukhopadhyay.
In this session, you will explore the theme of RESISTANCE, which is now more important than ever. Sign up to be guided through a world of poetry in a space of power, solidarity and community.
This workshop will be followed by an Open Mic Night at 6pm in the Darkroom Bar. We welcome you to come along and share what you've created in the workshop. Or, just come along and enjoy an evening of poetry. Sign up here.
There is limited availability for this workshop with only 15 spaces so don't miss out on this opportunity!
