Join us in London, UK for an embodied creative writing workshop before Lunar New Year. Open to everyone.

About this Event

With Lunar New Year approaching, we seek to explore creative writing practices that foreground emotions and bodies through journeying “home”. Join us in hom(e)scaping through different languages, identities, and body movements, rooted in intercultural contexts.

FACILITATORs

Linh S. Nguyễn is Canadian children’s author and PhD candidate at the Faculty of Education. Her research engages with the decolonial methodologies of spillage and storytelling to develop feminist and anti-imperialist pedagogies that stem from emotion, relation, and embodiment as epistemology. Linh completed her H.B.A. in English, Writing & Rhetoric, and Creative Expression & Society at the University of Toronto and her MPhil in Arts, Creativity and Education at Cambridge.

Yuanting Qiu is a Chinese non-fiction writer, children’s book translator and a MPhil graduate from Arts, Creativity and Education at University of Cambridge (hopefully an incoming PhD candidate). Her research interests focus on participatory, affective, arts-based pedagogy as an approach of decolonial-posthuman inquiry, exploring storytelling, gaming, and body movements as creative indigenous methodologies in the context of women’s life-writing and environmental education in the Global South. Her previous fields of study covered children’s literature, science fiction, linguistics, and Chinese language and literature.
