Conversations on Journaling
Led by Idil Hassan, this session looks at the practice of journaling and its role in making sense of our place in the world. Through structured discussion and some practical exercises, the workshop will present ideas for starting or maintaining a journal. We will explore the radical potential of journaling as a method for documentation during times of social upheaval, as a tool for radical self-acceptance, and as a means for unblocking other creative practices.
